    Copycat Shamrock Shake Recipe

    by Mindi Cherry

    Do you wait each year for the return of the Shamrock Shake? With this copycat Shamrock Shake recipe, you never have to wait again!

    Every winter, people eagerly await the return of the Shamrock Shake at a certain fast-food restaurant....and then get sad when it goes away.

    I'm not sure what the big deal is. Yes, it is delicious, creamy and minty, but making a copycat version is just about one of the easiest recipes that you can make. All you need is a blender and a few ingredients that you probably have at home.

    For a truly "authentic" Shamrock Shake recipe, just make it as directed. If you want to have some fun with it, you can make it the way that my son likes it - by also throwing in some semisweet chocolate chips!

    To make it, you will need:

    Ingredients:

    • 1 pint Vanilla Ice Cream
    • 1/2 cup Half and Half
    • 5 drops Mint Extract
    • 4 drops Green Food Coloring
    • Whipped cream & maraschino cherries (optional)

    Making it is easy!:

      Thank you so much for sharing this! The Shamrock shakes are a favorite for both of my girls, so they will be happy that they don't have to be that tease for a few weeks in March. 🙂

      Former McDonalds Manager here. I really wish the real shamrock shakes were made out of real ice cream, but they're not. This is much better! I apologize english is not my first language.
