Notes

For best results, work quickly to keep the ice cream thick. Use peppermint extract for authentic flavor, not spearmint. Crush Oreos to have a mix of fine crumbs and larger chunks. If the shake is too thin, reduce milk or add more ice cream. Variations include adding a shot of liquor for adults, chocolate syrup, or protein powder. Best enjoyed fresh; store leftovers in the freezer as ice cream.
