Ingredients:
 
6 cups good vanilla ice cream (I used Blue Bell homemade vanilla)
1 1/2 cups 2% milk
1 1/4 teaspoons peppermint extract
15 drops green food coloring
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
green sprinkles for garnish
 
Directions:

Put the ice cream and milk in a blender with  half of the green food coloring and the peppermint and blend well.  Add additional coloring and mint flavoring as desired. 

15 drops of food coloring and 1 1/4 teaspoons peppermint extract was perfect for us.

Mix 1 cup heavy whipping cream, until peaks begin to form.  Add 1 tablespoon powdered sugar and whip until stiff peaks form.

Serve with fresh whipped cream on top.
