Ingredients
  

2 cups creamy vanilla ice cream

1 cup rich whole milk

1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract

1/2 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (plus extra for drizzling)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Whipped cream for a fluffy topping

Instructions
 

Begin by placing the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, and peppermint extract into a blender. Blend the mixture on medium speed until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.

    Next, add the chocolate chips and chocolate syrup to the blender. Pulse a few times, just enough to break the chocolate chips into smaller pieces and incorporate them without fully blending, leaving some texture in the shake.

      Taste the shake and adjust the amount of peppermint extract according to your preference. If you love a more robust mint flavor, feel free to add a little more.

        For an elegant presentation, drizzle some chocolate syrup along the inner sides of your serving glasses before pouring in the shake.

          Carefully pour the prepared mint chocolate chip shake evenly into the decorated glasses.

            Generously top each shake with a luscious dollop of whipped cream, creating a delightful cloud on top.

              Finish the shake by garnishing with a few fresh mint leaves placed artfully on top for a pop of color and added freshness.

                Serve your mint chocolate chip shake immediately, providing a straw or a long spoon for easy enjoyment.
