Ingredients
Serves: 4
1 quart (4 cups) Mint Chip or Vanilla ice cream
1 cup milk
½ cup Chocolate Hard Cap (milk or dark)
Small plastic bag
4 Clear plastic glasses
Black marker
Optional: 4-6 oz Peppermint schnapps, crème de menthe, or chocolate liqueur (1-1.5 oz per serving)
Optional: 5-6 drops green food coloring
Directions
1. Heat Chocolate Hard Cap in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each. Repeat until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
2. Transfer the melted Hard Cap to a small plastic bag and snip a small hole in one corner. Pipe the Hard Cap around the rim of the glass, varying the pressure to create a jagged, hair-like effect. Move glass to freezer to allow chocolate to set.
3. Draw the Frankenstein eyes and mouth on the glass with a black permanent marker.
4. In a blender, combine ice cream, milk, liqueur (if using), and green food coloring (optional). Blend until smooth and the desired shade of green is reached. Pour into the prepared glass and serve with a straw.
