If you’ve ever hidden a sleeve of Thin Mints in the back of your freezer… this one’s for you.

This milkshake is rich, creamy, and tastes just like that famous chocolate mint cookie. It’s one of those recipes that feels playful and nostalgic — and takes less than five minutes to make. Whether you're sharing with the kids or treating yourself after a long day, it’s the kind of sweet moment that always delivers.

Ingredients

• 2 cups vanilla ice cream

• ¾ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

• 6–8 Thin Mint cookies (or similar chocolate mint cookies)

• ¼ tsp peppermint extract (optional, for extra minty flavor)

• Whipped cream and crushed cookies for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Add ice cream, milk, cookies, and peppermint extract to a blender.

2. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed for your preferred consistency.

3. Pour into two glasses, top with whipped cream and extra crushed cookies if you like, and serve immediately.

Sarah’s Tips

• Want to make it dairy-free? Use your favorite non-dairy ice cream and milk — it’s still delicious.

• Add a handful of baby spinach for a sneaky way to get the green color naturally (you won’t taste it!).

• For grown-ups, a splash of crème de menthe turns this into a dessert cocktail.
