Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup cold milk (whole milk or semi-skimmed)
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 4 peppermint candy canes, crushed
- 1–2 tablespoons white chocolate syrup (optional but delicious)
- A few drops red or pink food coloring (optional, for the soft rosy color)

- 2–3 crushed candy canes (for the glass rim)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Extra crushed candy canes (for topping)
- White chocolate shavings (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the candy cane rim: Place crushed candy canes in a shallow plate. Dip the top of each glass into honey or melted white chocolate. Press the rim gently into the crushed candy canes to coat. Set glasses aside in the fridge.
- Blend the shake: In a blender, add ice cream, milk, peppermint extract, crushed candy canes, white chocolate syrup (optional), and a few drops of red/pink coloring. Blend until smooth, creamy, and frothy.
- Assemble: Pour the shake into your prepared glasses. Top generously with whipped cream. Sprinkle more crushed candy canes and white chocolate shavings on top.
Notes
- For a stronger peppermint flavor, increase the amount of peppermint extract.
- Use dairy-free ice cream and milk for a vegan version.
- Adjust the amount of crushed candy canes based on your preference for sweetness and crunch.
