This year not only will they bring back the classic that everyone loves but they will be adding to the menu a chocolate shamrock shake. A classic Shamrock Shake with a thick layer of chocolate milkshake at the bottom! Can we say, SWEET TOOTH HEAVEN

Next, they will be adding onto the menu a Shamrock Chocolate Chip Frappe, Shamrock Hot Chocolates, and Shamrock Mochas.

And of course, each and every one comes with the special sprinkle of green sprinkles that we all love.

While we love the fact that Mcdonalds brings these shakes around once a year we also love the fact that you can make a version of them right from the comfort of your own home.

INGREDIENTS

For the Whipped Cream:

• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon mint extract

For the Shake:

• ¼ teaspoon mint extract
• 2 cups pistachio ice cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 tablespoons tequila (optional)
• ½ ounce semisweet chocolate

DIRECTIONS

1. Make the whipped cream: In a large bowl or mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat all of the ingredients until stiff peaks form.

2. Make the shake: In a blender, combine the mint extract, ice cream, milk and tequila if using, and blend until frothy.

3. Pour the shake mixture evenly into 2 tall glasses and top with the whipped cream. Use a Microplane to shave the chocolate on top and serve.

And there you have it…not only can you enjoy the Shamrock Shakes that McDonald's has but you can also make your own at home!
