Notes
Nutrition is calculated without toppings added. StorageThese shakes are best when made and consumed immediately.If you want to make these ahead of time, blend everything together and pour into an ice cube tray. Freeze until ready to drink, then just add a small amount of milk and the ice cubes to the blender when making the shake.Cooking Tips
If your minty shake is too thin, add more vanilla bean ice cream and blend again. If it's too thick, add additional milk and blend, until the consistency is right.
Use a spoon to try the milkshake flavor before pouring into the glasses. Adjust the amount of mint extract as-needed before serving.
Mint can be a strong flavoring. Add a little bit at a time for a light mint flavor, and adjust as-needed.
