If you are like our son Robby, you can’t wait for March to roll around for those Shamrock Shakes from McDonalds! Robby absolutely loves them and will make a special trip across town for them. So for him to have them all the time and to save a little bit of money, here is the copy cat version! I might also mention Robby found this recipe and sent it to me to be sure he could get them ASAP! This recipe makes enough for two shakes!
INGREDIENTS
1 pint of vanilla ice cream (2 cups, I used Ben & Jerry’s)
1 cup of milk
1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
1/4 teaspoon green food coloring
Whipped cream, optional
Green sprinkles, optional
Maraschino cherries, optional
DIRECTIONS
Place the ice cream, milk, peppermint extract and food coloring in a blender. Blend until mixed through. If you want a thinner consistency add just a little more milk until desired consistency. Pour into two tall glasses and top with whipped topping, cherry and sprinkles if desired. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
