Shamrock Shake – A Beautiful Mess

We do a whole lot of little cooking and craft tasks at house with our sons across the extra minor holidays like St. Patrick’s Day so having a do-it-yourself shamrock shake recipe available is the best way to go.

You possibly can costume this up with crushed Oreos or Fortunate Attraction marshmallows. Or for a extra grownup model add a shot or two of espresso.

Ideas Notes + Substitutions

• I like to make use of Blue Bunny Tender Vanilla Flavored Frozen Dairy Dessert on this recipe however any vanilla ice cream will work! We have a tendency to purchase this sort and the feel is softer and makes the ultimate milkshake a bit 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 superb too. They do style barely totally different however each make an exquisite Shamrock shake.
• I used 10 drops of inexperienced meals dye to get the colourful shade you see in these photographs. Use much less if you’d like a extra delicate shade 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 use 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.
