Peppermint Milkshake Ingredients
Much like making any milkshake, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients. We start with vanilla ice cream but you can use other Christmas inspired ice cream flavors like eggnog or even peppermint ice cream. A bit of milk (or even eggnog) thins the mixture to make it into a slurp-able treat. The peppermint flavor in this recipe comes from both crushed peppermint (we use candy canes) and peppermint extract. Adding a sprinkle of crushed peppermint to the milkshake itself adds an extra level of yummy.
Peppermint vs. Mint Extract
Peppermint extract is stronger than mint extract so if you only have mint extract, you’ll likely need to add a bit extra.
Quick and Easy Peppermint
To make this treat simply blend the ingredients and enjoy!
Crush your own candy canes for the best garnish. Red and white candy canes make the best color, if green is added the colors can get muddled. Serve immediately, milkshakes can melt quickly!
Fun additions
chocolate chips eggnog rum, vodka, peppermint schnapps cherries
