Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons mint extract
- 1.5 cups ice cubes
- 0.5 cups whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 2 teaspoons crushed peppermint candy (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to steam (but do not let it boil).
Step 2
Add the dark chocolate chips to the heated milk and whisk gently until the chocolate melts completely and forms a smooth mixture.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the fresh mint leaves. Let the mixture steep for 5 minutes to infuse the mint flavor.
Step 4
Strain the mixture into a bowl or large measuring cup to remove the mint leaves.
Step 5
Allow the chocolate-mint milk mixture to cool to room temperature. If you're in a hurry, place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
Step 6
Once cooled, pour the chocolate-mint milk mixture into a blender. Add the ice cubes, mint extract, and chocolate syrup, then blend until smooth and frothy.
Step 7
Pour the blended Chocolate Mint Cooler into two glasses.
Step 8
Top each glass with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon for a creamy, indulgent treat.
