A quick and easy homemade shamrock shake that is creamy, minty, and perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any time you want a refreshing treat. Ready in under 15 minutes with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract
  • A few drops green food coloring (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • Whipped cream for topping
  • 1 maraschino cherry per serving

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients and equipment. Measure out 2 cups (480 ml) of vanilla ice cream, 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk, 1 teaspoon mint extract, 1 tablespoon sugar, and a few drops of green food coloring.
  2. Add the ice cream and milk to the blender. Start with ice cream first so it blends easier. Blend on medium speed for about 15 seconds to start breaking it up.
  3. Add the mint extract, sugar, and green food coloring. Don’t overdo the coloring—it takes just a few drops for that perfect shade. Blend again for 20-30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  4. Check the consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly. If too thin, add a scoop more ice cream.
  5. Pour the shake into tall glasses. Leave some room at the top for whipped cream.
  6. Top with whipped cream. Generously swirl on top and add a maraschino cherry for that classic look.
  7. Serve immediately. Best enjoyed fresh and cold.

Notes

Chill glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving for an extra frosty shake. Soften ice cream at room temperature for about 5 minutes before blending to ensure smooth texture. Adjust mint extract to taste to avoid overpowering flavor. Use whole milk for best creamy texture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours; stir well before serving.
