Ingredients

  • 6 cups vanilla ice cream (1.5 quart container)
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 3/4 tsp pure mint extract (you want mint - not peppermint)
  • 1/8 tsp green food coloring (approximately 10-15 drops of liquid food coloring)
  • whipped cream - for serving
  • green sanding or sparkling sugar - for serving
  • maraschino cherries - for serving

Instructions

  • Add ice cream, milk, mint extract and food coloring to large blender. I ended up having to do mine in batches, but if you have a large and powerful blender you might be able to do it all at once.
  • Blend until smooth. Pour into serving glasses.
  • Top with whipped cream, green sugar and a cherry, if desired.
