St. Patty's Day is tomorrow! That means we can have a little cheat in our diet, right?
I absolutely adore McDonald's Shamrock Shakes - I hate to admit it but I usually get one every year, but not this year!
This recipe from Chocolate Moosey is sure to replace my old favorite! (Not to mention it's probably a little better for you health wise)

For the milkshakes:
- 2 cups good-quality vanilla bean ice cream (roughly 12 scoops)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Green food coloring (optional)
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 tablespoon Irish cream liqueur
- 2 maraschino cherries
Instructions
For the milkshake:
- Put the ice cream, milk, and peppermint extract in a blender and blend for a few minutes until smooth. Add the food coloring until you reach the desired shade of green (I used about 8 drops). If you want your milkshakes a little thinner, add more milk. Divide between two glasses.
- In a cold large bowl, beat the cream until it starts to thicken. Slowly beat in the powdered sugar then beat in the vanilla or Irish cream. Whip until stiff peaks are formed (when you pull the beaters straight up, it should make little peaks that won’t fall over). Top the milkshake with the whipped cream and cherries.
