Serving Suggestions

Make it extra thick: Add ½ cup more ice cream or use less milk.
Boozy Version: Add 1 oz Irish cream or peppermint schnapps for an adult twist!
Chocolate Lover’s Version: Blend in chocolate chips or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
Healthier Option: Use Greek yogurt and frozen banana instead of ice cream!

Notes

Want it creamier? Use heavy cream or half-and-half instead of milk.
More minty? Add extra peppermint extract, but start with a small amount!
Dairy-free? Use coconut or almond ice cream with plant-based milk.
