Last week I saw someone on twitter mention a “shamrock shake” that is apparently available at some McDonald’s locations.
Unfortunately, it’s not available at any in our area.
So I decided that we could make our own milkshakes for St. Patrick’s Day.
If you’re looking for a last minute treat this St. Patrick’s Day, these would be perfect!
All you need is some mint chocolate chip ice cream, milk, and green food coloring.
I saw several recipes for milkshakes using mint extract, but this isn’t something that I have on hand, so I just decided to make it with mint chocolate chip ice cream instead of vanilla ice cream and mint extract.
For two milkshakes use 1 1/4 c. milk, 2 c. ice cream (about 4 scoops), and 8 drops of green food coloring. I did this twice to make four milkshakes.
Blend it together for approximately 2 minutes and there you have it…the perfect St. Valentine’s day treat!
This was our snack during homeschool today…yumm!
