Top o’ the mornin’ to ya, Kansas City!
With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, it’s time to make one of the best, easy St. Patrick’s Day recipes – Shamrock Shakes!
…yum.
Everyone can agree they love Shamrock Shakes from McDonald’s…
But they are only offered during St. Patrick’s Day. Bummer.ย So, weย decided to concoct a Shamrock Shake recipe for ourselves.
Now we can enjoy them all year round!
Easy Shamrock Shakes Recipe:
They were super easy, yummy, and were a big hit in my house!ย
Plus, they’re quick to put together so you won’t have to spend much time mixing.ย Check it out now:
> Shamrock Shake Ingredients:
What you will need to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a yummy snack?
- 3 scoops mint chocolate chip ice cream
- 1/4 c. heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
- 4-6 drops green food coloring
- Whipped cream, for topping
> How to Make Your Shake:
This takes 5 minutes max. per shake.
- Scoop out the mint chocolate chip ice cream into a bowl (the bigger the better).
- Let it sit for a minute to soften up, but don’t let it melt too much.ย
- Stir the ice cream around in the bowl.ย
- Then, mix in the heavy cream, peppermint extract & food coloring
- Pour the mixture into a cup & top with whipped cream
You can either mix with a spoon by hand or use a blender. But, we have found the blender sometimes makes the shake a little watery.ย
> Toppings for Your St. Patrick’s Treat:
Top your yummy shake with treats like:
- maraschino cherries
- coconut flakes
- sprinkles (green if you have them)
- chocolate chipsย
- nuts
You can also get inspiration from your kiddos and have them help decorate their own!ย Any fun green things you can come up with to add a little pizzazz.ย
> How to Decorateย
If you are having a St. Patrick’s Day party with your family or friends, decorate the shakes with fun trinkets & toys.ย
Decorate with green plastic rings, fun straws, and serve up in a fancy wine or martini glass.ย You can find all these things at the Dollar Tree!ย
