I like the flavour of all issues mint. We do plenty of little cooking and craft tasks at house with our sons across the extra minor holidays like St. Patrick’s Day so having a selfmade shamrock shake recipe available is the way in which to go.

You’ll be able to costume this up with crushed Oreos or Fortunate Attraction marshmallows. Or for a extra grownup model add a shot or two of espresso.

Suggestions Notes + Substitutions

• I like to make use of Blue Bunny Smooth 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 positive too. They do style barely totally different however each make a beautiful Shamrock shake.
• I used 10 drops of inexperienced meals dye to get the colourful colour you see in these pictures. Use much less if you’d like a extra delicate colour or skip the meals dye altogether.
• Make your personal 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.
