Ingredients

  • 4 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1-2 cups milk see note
  • ¾ teaspoon peppermint extract see note
  • 3-4 drops green food coloring
  • Whipped cream for garnish
  • Cherry for garnish
  • Honey and Green Sanding Sugar for garnish

Instructions

  • If you wish to decorate your glass, place some honey on a plate and green sugar on another
  • plate. Dip the glass in the honey then the sugar to make it stick. Set aside.
  • Place ice cream, milk, extract, and food coloring in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Pour milkshake into glasses. Top with whipped cream and a cherry.

Notes

  • Taste test before pouring to see if you want to add more peppermint extract. It’s a
    strong flavor so you want to be sure it’s not overpowering. Start with 1/4 teaspoon and work up from there.
  • Start by adding less food coloring and add more as desired. I prefer regular food coloring for this – gel will need much less to get the desired color.
  • This recipe has been updated. The old recipe is a shamrock shake without ice cream. Here’s what you need to make it: 2 cups Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla
    Almondmilk, 1 about 3.4 ounces box vanilla pudding mix (regular or sugar-free), 1/2
    teaspoon peppermint extract, 3 drops green food coloring, 2-3 cups ice. Blend until
    smooth and serve.
