Thin Mint Thriller: A Killer St. Patrick’s Day Milkshake

If you're planning a thrilling St. Patrick’s Day murder mystery night, you’ll need the perfect treat to set the mood. Enter the Thin Mint Thriller—a rich and creamy Oreo mint milkshake that’s as deliciously mysterious as the case you’ll be cracking. Whether you're indulging in a night of detective work or just looking for a festive green dessert, this shake is sure to steal the show.

The Secret Recipe

This decadent minty milkshake blends the smoothness of vanilla ice cream with the cool kick of mint, plus just the right amount of cookie crunch. And for those who love a little twist, you can swap out the Oreos for Thin Mint cookies to add an extra chocolatey-minty depth.

Ingredients

Milkshake:

• 5 large scoops of vanilla ice cream

• 6 mint Oreos, insides only (see variations below)

• ¼ cup whole milk

• 2 mint leaves or ¼ tsp mint extract (optional)

• 1 drop of green gel food coloring (optional)

Toppings:

• ½ cup heavy cream

• ¼ cup powdered sugar

• Chocolate syrup

• Additional Oreos or Thin Mint cookies

• Mini chocolate chips

• Maraschino cherries

Instructions

1. Remove the filling from the Oreos and set aside. Save the cookie halves for another use (or crumble them up for a cookies-and-cream-style twist).

   • Want a darker, more mysterious shake? Toss in the cookie halves too! Just note, it will make the shake more brown than green.

2. Blend the ingredients together. In a blender, combine vanilla ice cream, Oreo filling, and milk. Blend until smooth.

3. Customize your shake.

   • For a thinner consistency, add more milk.

   • For a stronger mint flavor, mix in mint leaves, or mint extract.

   • To go full St. Paddy’s Day, add a drop of green food coloring.

4. Top it off in style. If making homemade whipped cream, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

5. Serve with flair. Pour the milkshake into a glass, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and top with whipped cream, crushed cookies, and a cherry for that final touch.

Make It Your Own

• Thin Mint Twist: Swap Oreos for Thin Mint cookies for a bolder chocolate-mint flavor.

• Boozy Version: Add a splash of Irish cream liqueur for an adults-only version of this shake.

• Extra Crunch: Blend in mini chocolate chips for a textured surprise.

Whether you’re the detective, the suspect, or just the mastermind behind the party, the Thin Mint Thriller is the ultimate refreshment for a night of mystery and fun. Cheers to solving cases and sipping shakes—just be careful not to leave any clues behind!
