Directions

Step 1

In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, crème de menthe syrup, and crème de cacao syrup.

Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk and blend again to reach your desired consistency.

Step 4

Pour the milkshake into two tall glasses, filling them almost to the top.

Step 5

Top each milkshake with a generous swirl of whipped cream.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chocolate shavings or sprinkles over the whipped cream for an added decorative touch.

Step 7

Garnish with a mint leaf on top, if desired, and serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon.
