Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup milk (use more or less depending on desired thickness)
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- 1/4 cup crushed candy canes (plus extra for garnish)
- Whipped cream (for garnish)
- Mini candy cane (for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
Step 1: Blend the Ingredients In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, milk, peppermint extract, and crushed candy canes. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the shake is too thick, add more milk a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 2: Pour into Glasses Pour the shake into a tall glass. The pink and white flecks of crushed candy cane give the shake a festive, holiday appearance.
Step 3: Garnish and Serve Top the shake with a generous swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle with additional crushed candy canes. For an extra festive touch, hang a mini candy cane on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy the festive flavors!
Notes
- Adjusting Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet shake, reduce the amount of crushed candy canes or use a sugar-free peppermint extract.
- Consistency Tip: For a thicker shake, use less milk. For a thinner shake, add more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Blending Tip: Make sure the candy canes are finely crushed before adding them to the blender to ensure a smooth texture.
