7 Days of Shamrocks: Day 7

For day seven of my 7 Days of Shamrocks, I decided to try a homemade replica of the famous McDonald's Shamrock Shake.

3 cups good quality vanilla ice cream
1 3/4 cups 1% milk
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Green food coloring

Simply blend all of the ingredients in a blender until completely thick and smooth.

Pour into glasses, top with whipped cream and sprinkles and serve! I thought it was a little too minty but I'm not positive I had quite enough ice cream, I only had a certain amount left in my freezer.

For a fun party twist, make Shamrock Shooters by pouring the shake into shooter glasses and top each individually with whipped cream and sprinkles.
