Recipe: Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Soda

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Soda is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or anytime you’re in the mood for something minty and sweet!

A fun treat to make for the family is an ice cream soda.  Mint Chocolate Chip is one of my favorite ice cream flavors…although it’s not a flavor I purchase regularly because no one else in my family enjoys the minty taste like I do.

But with St. Patrick’s Day coming up in a few weeks, it gives me the perfect excuse to share this recipe for a Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Soda.  Or Float.  Or Milkshake. What do you call them?  I call them delicious!

I don’t have a lot of “green” type recipes on my site for St. Patrick’s Day but I thought this one is good all year long as well as for the month of March where the focus is on a lot of green treats.  But there’s one thing I do know, I love ice cream.

Okay, did you catch my mistake yet?  I accidentally titled this recipe as an ice cream soda and clearly there’s no soda at all in this recipe.  This is what I get for publishing a recipe in a hurry.

See, we had a huge snow storm the day I was putting this recipe together.  It was more like a hurricane with a blizzard combined.  And the power kept going on and off all day long.  I knew I had to hurry and finish this recipe before the power was lost forever…and the mistake happened.

Of course I didn’t notice the mistake until AFTER I hit publish and I’m kind of stuck with calling it a soda for now.

But that’s okay.  You can make this as an ice cream soda too!  All you need to do is, obviously replace the milk with your favorite Ginger Ale or Lemon Lime soda.  But for now we’ll just continue on to the recipe!

How to Make Mint Chocolate Ice Cream Soda

• 3 – 4 large scoops of mint chocolate ice cream
• 1 cup milk
• 2 – 3 drops of green gel food coloring
• whipped cream for topping
• chocolate covered mints for topping

This recipe doesn’t get any easier!  Add the mint chocolate chip ice cream to a blender.

Add the food coloring and milk.  Blend until smooth.

Pour into a glass and top with whipped cream and chopped candy mints.  Add a fun colorful straw and enjoy!

Now, doesn’t that look delicious?  I love chocolate and mint.  It’s a delicious combination.
