Copycat McDonald’s Shamrock Shake Recipe
As you know, the McDonald’s Shamrock Shake is only available for a limited time which makes it very special for some customers and fans. My kids usually ask for it a few times a year. So, after some testing, here’s a recipe that is pretty close to the original design.
I hope you enjoy it!! Make sure you have some sprinkles and whipped cream to give it that St. Patty’s feel!!

- 2 Cups Vanilla Ice Cream — go premium (it makes a difference)
- ½ Cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon. Peppermint Extract
- 10 drops Green Food Coloring
- Whipped Cream (to top)

How To Make The Shamrock Shake At Home
- Place two thick glasses in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.
- Place the Ice Cream, Milk, Peppermint, and Food coloring in a blender and pulse until smooth. Add additional coloring if desired.
