FAQs

Can I use a different flavor of ice cream?

Yes! You can substitute the mint chocolate chip ice cream with other ice cream flavors like vanilla or chocolate, but the minty, chocolatey flavor is key to this recipe.

Can I use a different type of cream?

If you don’t have half & half, you can substitute it with whole milk or a combination of heavy cream and milk for a richer texture. Half & half gives the milkshake a perfect balance of creaminess.

Can I make this milkshake dairy-free?

Yes, to make it dairy-free, use a dairy-free mint chocolate chip ice cream and substitute the half & half with a non-dairy milk like almond milk or coconut milk. You can also use dairy-free whipped topping for the garnish.

Can I make this milkshake thicker?

For a thicker milkshake, reduce the amount of half & half or add more ice cream. You can also add ice cubes for extra thickness if you like.

Can I make this milkshake ahead of time?

Milkshakes are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the base (ice cream and half & half) ahead of time, then blend and serve when ready.

Can I use regular Andes mints instead of the chopped version?

Yes, you can use regular Andes mints. Just chop them into small pieces for the garnish, or blend some into the milkshake for added minty chocolate flavor.

How can I make this milkshake even more decadent?

To make it more indulgent, try adding chocolate syrup, a drizzle of caramel, or even a few extra scoops of ice cream for extra creaminess!
