Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups vanilla ice cream
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ teaspoon mint extract (start with ½ teaspoon of mint extract and add more as needed)
- 10 drops green food coloring
Optional Ingredients
- whipped cream
- a maraschino cherry
- green sprinkles
Instructions
- Scoop the vanilla ice cream into the blender.
- Add the milk to the blender.
- Add the mint extract and a few drops of green food coloring.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, about 20 to 30 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
Notes
- Use Quality Ice Cream: A rich, full-fat vanilla ice cream creates a thicker, creamier Shamrock Shake.
- Start Light with Mint Extract: Mint extract is potent. Begin with a small amount, blend, and taste before adding more to avoid an overpowering flavor.
- Adjust Thickness Easily: For a thicker shake, add more ice cream. For a thinner, more sippable texture, add a splash of milk and blend again.
- Blend Briefly: Blend just until smooth, about 20 to 30 seconds. Over-blending can thin the shake too much.
- Serve Immediately: This homemade Shamrock Shake is best enjoyed right after blending while it’s thick and creamy.
