Calories: 691kcal
Ingredients
- 4 cups vanilla bean ice cream about 12 large scoops
- ⅔ cup peppermint bark crushed
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
- Red gel food coloring optional
- Whipped cream for garnish
- Maraschino cherries for garnish
Instructions
- Place the bark in a sandwich bag and finely crush it with a rolling pin or meat mallet.
- Scoop the ice cream into a blender and pour in the crushed bark, the milk, and the extract, then blend until smooth. Start on low speed until the mixture is combined, then turn it up to medium to crush the bark more finely. If desired, add more peppermint extract to taste.
- If you would like to add food coloring, blend in a little bit at a time. You need just enough to tint the shake a pale pink.
- Immediately pour the milkshake into tall glasses and garnish with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use a high quality vanilla ice cream for the best flavor.
- Finely crush the bark before blending.
- Is the shake too thin? Add more ice cream.
- Is the shake too thick? Add more milk.
- Want to make ahead or have leftovers? Seal the shake in an airtight, freezer-safe container and freeze, then let it thaw slightly and stir before drinking. Don't add the whipped cream and cherry until right before enjoying.
