Shamrock Shake

This shamrock shake recipe is a copy of the McDonald's favorite! It's a mix of ice cream, milk and mint, all blended to creamy perfection.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 10 drops green food coloring
  • 1/4 teaspoon mint extract
  • whipped cream, sprinkles and maraschino cherries for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the ice cream, milk, food coloring and mint extract in a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth.
  3. Pour into two glasses. Top with whipped cream, sprinkles and cherries, then serve.

Notes

  • It's best to use mint extract for this recipe rather than the more common peppermint extract. 
  • Use whole milk in this shake for the creamiest result. 
  • I use 10 drops of green food coloring to get a very vibrant green color. If you're using a gel food coloring rather than the liquid, you'll need 3-4 drops to achieve the same result. If your green coloring is a little too blue, try adding a couple of drops of yellow food coloring.
