What flavor is a Shamrock Shake?
The flavor has to match the color, right? This homemade Shamrock Shake is mint-flavored, and it’s so good! You could leave out the mint flavoring if you want to so then that would make it taste more like vanilla ice cream than anything else.
Can you use other flavors of ice cream in this St. Patrick’s Day shake recipe?
Sure, it’s your recipe! While this recipe calls for vanilla ice cream, you could totally use chocolate or even mint-flavored ice cream as well. It would be a fun family cooking experiment to make these easy ice cream shakes all different flavors and take a family vote on which one is the best.
What are some fun toppings you can add to these homemade shakes?
Toppings are the best part! You have your traditional whipped cream and sprinkles, but don’t overlook all the other great options. Crushed Oreos, coconut flakes, chocolate syrup, chocolate chips…all great options for delicious toppings, too! You can even add your very own cherry on the top as well.
