I decided to make a copy cat recipe for McDonald’s Shamrock shake when I was planning for my St. Patrick’s day post.  There isn’t much to a shake recipe. So it isn’t hard to figure out, but getting just the right amount to make the right shake consistency is key.  I allowed some leeway for the peppermint extract.  This way you can adjust the taste to your liking.  If you aren’t a peppermint fan then leave out the extract and use a little vanilla extract in it’s place. You can still enjoy a festive looking milk shake for the holiday.

You can use whatever kind of milk you have, but a milk with a higher fat content will give a richer flavor.  To finish off this copy cat shamrock shake, you can top it with that whipped cream in a can.  However, I prefer to make my own whipped cream and pipe it on.  The stuff in the can has a lot of air in it and deflates after it sits for a few seconds. The real stuff is thick and creamy!

Here is what you need to make the
