Instructions

  1. Let your vanilla ice cream sit out for 5 minutes or so, it's easier to scoop.
  2. Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender.
  3. Add 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract and 10 drops green food coloring.
  4. Scoop about 3 cups ice cream into the blender. I measured this, but you can eyeball it.
  5. Blend on low until the ice cream and milk start to come together, then increase the speed to high. Blend until smooth. You might need to stop and use a spatula to break up the ice cream or scrape the sides.
  6. Add more milk or more ice cream to get the consistency you like! Add extra peppermint extract only a drop at a time; a little goes a long way.
  7. Pour into 3 glasses. Top with Homemade Whipped Cream and a maraschino cherry! Enjoy right away!
  8. Storage: don't store. Sip up.
