Shamrock Shake – A Lovely Mess

It’s that point of 12 months and I’m excited to share this McDonald’s copy cat Shamrock Shake recipe! Lol. Personally the shamrock shake is one in every of my favorites. I really like the flavour of all issues mint. We do lots of little cooking and craft initiatives at residence with our sons across the extra minor holidays like St. Patrick’s Day so having a do-it-yourself shamrock shake recipe readily available is the best way to go.

You possibly can costume this up with crushed Oreos or Fortunate Allure marshmallows. Or for a extra grownup model add a shot or two of espresso. I are inclined to make these with my children I actually go for it with the inexperienced meals coloring (ha!) however if you need a extra refined coloration and even no coloration in any respect that’s simple to regulate.

The best way to make a Shamrock Shake

It’s somewhat difficult to measure ice cream. I exploit a glass measuring cup however truthfully you possibly can merely eyeball it into your blender. Lean towards an excessive amount of vs too little for a thicker milkshake.

In a blender add the ice cream, milk, extract and inexperienced meals coloring. Mix till properly mixed.

Pour into your cup and high with whipped cream.

Suggestions Notes + Substitutions

• I like to make use of Blue Bunny Gentle Vanilla Flavored Frozen Dairy Dessert on this recipe however any vanilla ice cream will work! We have a tendency to purchase this type and the feel is softer and makes the ultimate milkshake somewhat extra ethereal / foamy and feels much more just like the McDonald’s model to me.
• Mint extract is extra genuine for this recipe but when you have already got peppermint extract (perhaps from Christmas baking) that’s nice too. They do style barely completely different however each make a beautiful Shamrock shake.
• I used 10 drops of inexperienced meals dye to get the colourful coloration you see in these photographs. Use much less if you need a extra refined coloration or skip the meals dye altogether.
• Make your individual whipped cream or used a canned model for a extra genuine copy cat expertise. 🙂
• If you wish to make this dairy free you should utilize dairy free ice cream, milk and whipped cream.
• These cups with dome lids are nice for a celebration, in any other case any 12 oz cup will do.
