Have you had a Shamrock Shake at McD’s? Totally awesome, right? Totally expensive right? Totally inconvenient to drive all the way over just to get an amazing shake topped with whipping cream, right? Right. So I thought I’d bring to you this copycat recipe of McDonald’s Shamrock Ice Cream Shake. It was so delicious that I ate it to the very last drop–I don’t even know if there was even a drop left!

2 cups vanilla ice cream
¼ teaspoon mint extract (not peppermint extract)
1 to 1¼ cups low-fat milk, depending on thickness desired
Green food coloring, 8 drops
Whipping cream (optional)
2 Maraschino cherries (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high until smooth and creamy. Pour into two glasses, top with whipping cream and maraschino cherries and serve right away.
