01 -

This takes exactly five minutes but tastes like you visited a premium ice cream parlor, especially if you use good vanilla ice cream as your base.
The mini chocolate chips stay just intact enough to give you that perfect textural contrast that makes mint chip so addictive.

02 -

Overblending will melt your ice cream too much, resulting in a thin, disappointing shake—aim for about 20-30 seconds total blending time.
Adding the peppermint extract a few drops at a time lets you control the intensity—some extracts are much stronger than others.

03 -

Freeze your glasses for 15 minutes before pouring in the shake—this extra step prevents premature melting and keeps the perfect consistency longer.
Reserve a small handful of chocolate chips to fold in by hand after blending for pockets of chocolate that provide delightful texture contrast.
