Copycat Mcdonald's Shamrock Shake

Kree's Note:

I used to absolutely love it when McDonald's brought out their Shamrock Shakes around St. Patrick's Day. The past couple of years I haven't been able to have it because of the dairy, so I was thrilled when I found this copycat recipe! Just use the soy ingredients to make it dairy-free.

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 2 cups vanilla ice cream or 2 cups soy ice cream

• 1/4 teaspoon mint extract
• 8 drops green food coloring

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed until smooth.
2. Stop blender to stir with a spoon if necessary to help blend ice cream.
3. Pour into 12-ounce cups and serve each with a straw.
4. Happy St Patrick's Day!

McD's Shamrock Shakes are one of my husband's faves. We all loved this recipe. I added a little sea salt to reduce clumping and give because fast food shakes tend to have that slight salt taste. Just a little does the trick! Thanks for the recipe!

Everyone loved it! What a special treat for St. Patrick's Day! Listening to others who reviewed it, I started with 1 cup of milk, and it was enough. :)

pretty good. My husband said it's close too the McDonald's shake but it could probably use less milk since it was pretty thin. Will make again.
