This Witch’s Brew Mint Chocolate Milkshake is the perfect way to bring a touch of magic and freshness to your Halloween celebrations. Its cool minty flavor paired with rich chocolate makes it a refreshing and indulgent treat that kids and adults will both adore. The bright green color adds a fun and spooky vibe, making it an instant hit at any party or even as a special treat on a warm day.
I first made this shake during a Halloween gathering with friends and it quickly became the star of the party. Now, whenever I want something cool and festive, this recipe is my go to.
Ingredients
- Vanilla ice cream: choose a creamy highquality brand for the best texture and flavor
- Milk: whole milk adds creaminess but you can adjust according to preference
- Mint extract: the key to that fresh mint flavor look for pure extract rather than artificial flavoring
- Chocolate syrup: use a good chocolate sauce for deep cocoa taste
- Green food coloring: just a few drops to get that witchy green hue, opt for gel coloring for more vibrant color without altering the shake’s texture
- Whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles: these finishing touches bring extra indulgence and a delightful crunch with every sip
Instructions
- Scoop the base ingredients:
- Place two cups of vanilla ice cream in your blender followed by half a cup of milk to start with the right balance for smooth consistency
- Add the flavors:
- Pour in onehalf teaspoon of mint extract and two tablespoons of chocolate syrup to create that signature mint chocolate combination
- Color it magically:
- Add a few drops of green food coloring carefully until you reach a vibrant green shade without overpowering the taste
- Blend to perfection:
- Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, no lumps should remain to keep that perfect milkshake texture
- Serve with flair:
- Pour the shake into tall glasses, then top generously with whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate bits to add texture and visual appeal
My favorite ingredient is definitely the mint extract because it brings that fresh and sharp contrast to the sweetness of the chocolate. One Halloween my niece made herself one of these shakes and declared it the most magical drink ever which made the evening even more special to me.
Storage Tips
This milkshake is best enjoyed right away to keep its creamy texture and fresh taste. If you need to store leftovers, keep it in an airtight container in the freezer and stir well before serving again though it may lose some creaminess. You can also prepare the milkshake base minus the topping then freeze in portions and blend again when ready to refresh the texture.
Ingredient Substitutions
You can swap vanilla ice cream for chocolate or even a dairyfree alternative like coconut milk ice cream for a different twist. Fresh mint leaves can replace the extract if you pulse them well in the blender but the flavor will be lighter. Use maple syrup or honey if you prefer a natural sweetener over chocolate syrup.
Serving Suggestions
Pair this shake with crisp cookies or brownies to complement its mint chocolate flavor. For a boozy version for adults, add a shot of peppermint liqueur or creme de cacao. It also pairs wonderfully with simple fruit salads as a refreshing dessert option.
Enjoy this festive Witch’s Brew Mint Chocolate Milkshake as a quick fun treat for Halloween or on warm days. It’s easy to adapt and always a crowd pleaser.
