Flavor Profile: Think of a Girl Scout Thin Mint and then square it. Chocolate, vanilla, mint, and a silky-smooth texture; this blended and boozy treat should taste exactly as the ingredients read. The Greek yogurt helps to thin the ice cream for optimal texture and, at the same time, adds a touch of tang that will balance out the sweetness. The mint garnish adds a scent for the nose. This late-night snack has every reminder of childhood and is every decadent bit of an adult treat.
Background: This drink is inspired by the after-dinner or late-night raid of the fridge or the pantry, the place where one looks for a delicious but maybe not altogether healthy snack. Late-night guilty pleasures of booze, chocolate, and ice cream. What more could one ask for?
