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!!

Ingredients

• 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)
• Green Sprinkles (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.
• Pour the mixture into the chilled glasses. Top with whipped cream and sprinkles.
