# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • The contrast between the cool, refreshing mint and the little bursts of chocolate chips creates this magical moment where your taste buds cant decide whether to savor or gulp it all down at once.
  • You can whip this up in less time than it takes to find your car keys, making it perfect for those unplanned dessert cravings or impromptu gatherings.
02 -
  • Adding the chocolate chips at the very end and just pulsing briefly keeps them intact as little treasures throughout the shake instead of blending them into oblivion.
  • Chilling your glasses in the freezer for 5 minutes before serving keeps the milkshake colder longer and creates that frost effect that makes everyone say wow before they even taste it.
03 -
  • Freeze some of the milk in ice cube trays beforehand and use those instead of some of the liquid milk for an extra-thick shake that doesnt dilute as it melts.
  • Adding a pinch of salt to the mixture enhances the sweetness and complexity of flavors, making the mint taste more natural and less like an extract.
