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:

    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.
