Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this milkshake dairy-free?

Yes, you can! Substitute the vanilla ice cream with a dairy-free vanilla ice cream alternative (like almond milk or coconut milk based), and use a plant-based milk (such as almond milk or soy milk) instead of regular milk. Ensure your chocolate chips are also dairy-free.

How can I adjust the intensity of the mint flavor?

Start with ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract and taste the milkshake. If you prefer a stronger mint flavor, add another ¼ teaspoon at a time, blending and tasting until you reach your desired intensity. Remember, a little goes a long way with extracts!

What kind of chocolate chips work best for this milkshake?

Miniature chocolate chips are ideal as they blend in well and provide small bursts of chocolate flavor without being too chunky for a straw. You can use semi-sweet, dark, or even milk chocolate chips based on your preference.
