Homemade Shamrock Shake
A cool and creamy mint milkshake that tastes just like the classic seasonal treat.
dailyrecipesbook.comThere is something so fun about a bright green mint shake when the weather starts to warm up. It is the perfect sweet treat to make at home because you do not have to wait for a special time of year to enjoy it.
My biggest tip for this recipe is to use good quality vanilla ice cream. Since there are so few ingredients, the flavor of the ice cream really shines through. Add a drop of green food coloring if you want that iconic festive look.
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon mint extract
- 2 drops green food coloring
- Whipped cream for topping
- Maraschino cherry for garnish
Instructions
- 1
Place the vanilla ice cream, milk, mint extract, and food coloring into your blender.
- 2
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- 3
If the shake is too thick, add a tiny splash more milk and blend again.
- 4
Pour the shake into a tall glass.
- 5
Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream and a cherry on top.
💡 Tips
Serve this immediately while it is nice and thick. If you have leftovers, pour them into an ice cube tray and freeze them to blend into another shake later. You can also sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top for an extra bit of crunch.
