Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups vanilla ice cream 1.5 quart container
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 3/4 tsp pure mint extract make sure to use mint, not peppermint
  • 1/8 tsp green food coloring approximately 10-15 drops of liquid food coloring
  • Whipped cream for serving
  • Green sanding or sparkling sugar for serving
  • Maraschino cherries for serving

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Gather all your ingredients. Ensure your ice cream is slightly softened for easier blending; let it sit out for about 5 minutes if necessary.
  • Step 2: In a large blender, add the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, mint extract, and green food coloring. If your blender is not large enough, you may need to do this in batches.
  • Step 3: Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute. If the shake is too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • Step 4: Once blended, pour the shake into serving glasses. The vibrant green color should be eye-catching and inviting!
  • Step 5: Top each glass with a generous dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of green sanding sugar, and a maraschino cherry for that perfect finishing touch.
