Enjoy this festive Chick-Fil-A Peppermint Milkshake at home…even on Sundays with our easy copycat recipe!

Hi my name is Sydney and I may be slightly addicted to Chick-fil-A shakes. Come on, I know I’m not the only one. There is something about those sweet, frosty beauties that always leaves me wanting another one; especially on Sundays when Chick-fil-A is closed.

Earlier this year I created my favorite summer time treat, Frosted Lemonade, and I knew as soon as I tasted the Peppermint Chocolate Chip Shake a few weeks ago I need to recreate this one too.

If you like copycat recipes you will probably also love our Starbucks Caramel Apple Cider copycat! Or you can check out our entire beverage gallery here. 

Chick Fil A Peppermint Milkshake

If you aren’t familiar with Chick-fil-A’s winter time favorite this peppermint shake is the perfect mix of cool peppermint with sweet chocolate chips all mixed together in tasty vanilla ice cream. Sadly, it is only available during the holidays.

So what better time to create a copy cat recipe than when you can taste the real deal to make sure they taste the same; am I right?!

The recipe was pretty easy to put together it was the tweaking of the amount of candy canes and chocolate chips that took a little bit of time. But you won’t hear me complaining… I loved getting to make my own and compare it to the Chick-fil-A classic. It took three times but I think I finally nailed down the perfect peppermint to chocolate chip ratio.

I would love to have you try this recipe AND the Chick-fil-A version at the same time and tell me what you think!

Chick Fil A Peppermint Shake Ingredients:

Making this shake is so easy! All you need are these five ingredients. 

  • Vanilla Ice Cream
  • Mini Candy Canes
  • Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • Milk
  • Whipped Cream to Garnish *optional

Pro Tips: 

  • I found the best way to crush the candy canes and the chocolate chips is with my Blendtec. I’ve tried crushing things in other blenders and with the good ‘ol rolling pin to ziplock bag but nothing gets things crushed like the Blendtec. If you’re looking for a Christmas gift for that hard to buy for person, a Blendtec may be a great option!
  • While crushing the candy canes works the best in the Blendtec, it will lead to a thinner consistency milkshake. If you want a thicker shake (like you would get at Chick-Fil-A) then it is best to crush the candy canes up beforehand and mix all your ingredients with a hand blender! 
  • Use your favorite vanilla ice cream to yeild best results! Mine is Tillamook.

    My daughter went to get a shake a few days ago and the employee said they were out of syrup. Do you think they use a peppermint syrup?

    My family loves this time of year when Chick fil A offers these milkshakes but because we are a family of 6, it gets pretty expensive. For our ingredients I used strawberry ice cream and peppermint bark. I used a mix of heavy whipping cream and milk. I would have liked candy canes in it but my kids ate them all before I could set some aside. It was very good.

    I crushed my candy canes in a ziplock bag then took a small hammer outside and smashed up the candy canes worked great. Then just added them to the vanilla ice cream and blended everything together
