Chocolate Mint Milkshake

Yield: 2 to 4 sersvings

• 2 cups of vegan or cow’s milk (for a creamier texture, use the full-fat version of your choice)
• 3 cups of chocolate mint ice cream (ensure its gluten-free or vegan, if necessary)
• 1/4 cup of chocolate syrup (check for gluten-free or vegan certification)
• 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract
• Whipped cream (use coconut whipped cream for a vegan option)
• Chocolate shavings, cookie pieces, or mint leaves for garnish (optional)

1. Preparation: Before you begin, ensure that your chosen ingredients are chilled for the best results. Place your milk of choice, chocolate mint ice cream, chocolate syrup, and peppermint extract in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. By placing the ice cream in the fridge instead of the freezer it will make it easier to blend.
2. Blend: In a blender, combine the chilled milk, chocolate mint ice cream, chocolate syrup, and peppermint extract. Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
3. Taste Test: Give your milkshake a quick taste test. Adjust the sweetness or mintiness according to your preference by adding more chocolate syrup or peppermint extract if needed.
4. Serve: Pour the chocolate mint milkshake into chilled glasses. Top each glass with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings, cookies, or a fresh mint leaf for an extra touch of elegance.
5. Enjoy: Grab a straw, take a sip, and celebrate National Chocolate Mint Day!
