Homemade Copycat Shamrock Shake (Printable)

A creamy milkshake blending vanilla, peppermint, and vibrant green hues for a refreshing delight.

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 2 cups vanilla ice cream (preferably full-fat)

02 - 1 cup whole milk (or 2% for a lighter option)

03 - 1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint extract

04 - 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

05 - 4-6 drops green food coloring

06 - Whipped cream

07 - Maraschino cherries

08 - Green sprinkles

01 - In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, milk, peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and green food coloring.

02 - Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if a thinner consistency is desired.

03 - Taste and adjust the peppermint extract or food coloring as needed.

04 - Pour into two tall glasses. Top with whipped cream, a maraschino cherry, and green sprinkles if desired. Serve immediately.

01 -

Ready in five minutes flat, no special equipment beyond a basic blender
Tastes exactly like the drive thru version but made with ingredients you can actually pronounce

02 -

The peppermint extract is stronger than you think, I've definitely made batches that cleared sinuses instead of brought joy
If using plant based alternatives, the texture changes dramatically, so blend longer and expect a thinner consistency

03 -

Softened ice cream blends much more smoothly than rock hard straight from the freezer
If your blender struggles, add the milk first to get things moving before adding the ice cream
