Shamrock Shake Copycat Recipe

St. Patricks Day is coming around this weekend!!! What does that mean besides hitting every bar in a 10 mile radius and getting silly off Irish Car Bombs? Shamrock Shakes! I made these last night after dinner, and let me tell you... Amazing. My boyfriend, Gary, had never had one of these shakes from McDonalds. Crazy right? But once he tried this, he was hooked. I have a feeling I'll be making these again.


Here's what you'll need:

Vanilla ice cream, Milk, Peppermint extract, green food coloring, and whipped cream to top it off.



Just mix 4 cups of ice cream, 1 1/2 cups or milk, 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract, and a couple drops of food coloring in a blender. Blend just enough that the ice cream breaks up.  The McDonalds shake has a super thick consistency, and if you over blend this you'll end up with a liquidy shake. Top it off with whipped cream, and maybe a cherry and you're all set!
