Notes

For an extra special touch, rim the glasses with a mixture of crushed candy canes and melted chocolate before pouring in the milkshake.
If you prefer a lighter mint flavor, start with 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract and adjust to taste.
Chill your glasses in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before serving to keep the milkshake colder for longer.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer and consume within one or two days. A quick stir or re-blend can restore its creamy consistency.
