Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 4 tablespoons vanilla-flavored instant pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon peppermint essence
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 4 to 6 drops green food coloring

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk and pudding mix until smooth with no lumps.

Notes
- Use almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Swap whipping cream for coconut cream for a vegan alternative.
- Omit food coloring or use spirulina powder for natural coloring.
- Use gluten-free cookies if needed.
- Re-spin if the texture isn’t creamy enough after the first spin.
