Copycat Recipe for McDonald's Shamrock Shake

McDonalds Shamrock Shake
I love Shamrock Shakes! 
McDonald's is only offering it's Shamrock Shake until March 25th. 
This recipe will satisfy your Shamrock Shake cravings until next year. I'm going to make them tonight when we build a trap to catch the leprechaun.  


McDonald's Shamrock Shake Copycat Recipe 
(makes 1 giant shake, or 2 generously sized shakes, or 4 leprechaun sized shakes) 

Ingredients: 
3 cups good quality vanilla ice cream 
1 3/4 cups 1% milk 
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract 
Green food coloring, if desired 
Top with whip cream and a cherry,  if desired  

Directions: 
Blend all ingredients in a blender until completely thick and smooth. Pour into glasses and serve!  

This recipe can be modified to accommodate Organic, Low-Fat, Sugar-Free, and other dietary restrictions.

    Bummer, I thought McDonalds Shamrock Shakes would at least be available until February! I'll definitely try this recipe next time I'm craving one.

    I *love* Shamrock Shakes! So do my daughters. I think I'm going to use some crème de menthe in mine, though, instead of the peppermint extract! An "Adult" Shamrock Shake! LOL! ;)

    Do you think creme de minthe syrup would work instead of the peppermint?
