Homemade Shamrock Shake

One of the best parts about St. Patrick's Day is a shamrock shake. You don't have to run to McDonald's every time you get the taste for that green goodness. Here is an easy recipe so you can make one right at home.

You will need the following ingredients:

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 tsp. mint extract
  • 8 drops green food color
  • Chocolate chips
  • Whipped cream

Let the ice cream sit out for 10 minutes to soften. Once soft, put all of the ingredients (minus chocolate chips & whipped cream) into a blender and blend on medium-high until smooth. Pour into a cup and top with chocolate chips and whipped cream. Enjoy and have a happy St. Patrick's Day!
