Ingredients
Shake Ingredients
- 3 cups (396 g) vanilla ice cream
- 1½ cups (360 ml) whole milk
- ½ teaspoon mint extract
- 6 drops green food coloring
Topping
- Whipped cream, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including vanilla ice cream, whole milk, mint extract, green food coloring, and whipped cream. Ensure the ice cream is slightly softened for easier blending.
- Blend Shake: In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, mint extract, and green food coloring. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, and the color is evenly distributed, creating a vibrant green shake.
- Serve: Pour the shake into tall glasses immediately to maintain thickness and creaminess.
- Add Topping: Generously top each shake with whipped cream to enhance the flavor and presentation.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing, homemade Shamrock Shake.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of mint extract to your preferred level of mint flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute ice cream and milk with plant-based alternatives.
- Use regular food coloring or natural green food dye as preferred.
- For a thicker shake, add more ice cream; for a thinner shake, add more milk.
- The shake is best consumed immediately to prevent melting and separation.
