McDonald's Shamrock Shake
Description
This recipe recreates the McDonald's Shamrock Shake by softening vanilla ice cream and blending it with half-and-half to create a smooth base. Mint extract provides the signature refreshing mint flavor, while green food coloring adds the characteristic pale green shade. The shake is blended until creamy and served immediately with a topping of whipped cream. The texture is thick and smooth, combining sweet vanilla creaminess with cool mint.
This milkshake is best enjoyed as a festive, themed dessert or treat. Its refreshing mint flavor and creamy consistency make it a customary choice during springtime celebrations or when craving a minty sweet beverage.
Omitting the green food coloring offers a dye-free version with the same mint flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/4 cup half and half
- 4 drops mint extract
- 2 drops green food coloring
- 2 tablespoons Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Allow ice cream to soften for about 10 minutes so it will be easy to blend.
- Combine the ice cream, half-and-half, mint extract, and food coloring in a blender.

- Pour the milkshake into a glass and top with whipped cream. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Omit green food coloring to make a dye-free version that retains the mint flavor.
