St. Patrick’s Day Shake
Here’s what you need to make our St. Patrick’s Day Shake
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup whole milk (you can use skim to reduce calories and fat)
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon mint extract (NOT peppermint)
- 7-8 drops green food coloring
- extra prepared whipping cream, for garnish
- green sprinkles, for garnish
Directions
Inside a blender add vanilla ice cream, milk, 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, mint extract, and green food coloring. Mix until well blended, adding more milk if necessary. Alternatively, you can use a stick blender to blend the ingredients.
Pour into serving glass. Top with prepared whipping cream and green sprinkles. Depending on how thick your St. Patrick’s Day shake is you might want to use an extra large straw for drinking. We hope you like this St. Patrick’s Day recipe!
