Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • Green food coloring (optional)
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Maraschino cherry (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a Ninja Slushi machine, combine the vanilla ice cream, milk, peppermint extract, and a few drops of green food coloring if desired.
  • Blend on low to medium speed. Stop to scrape the sides if needed until you reach a smooth and glossy texture.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy, which usually takes 30 to 60 seconds.
  • Pour into glasses and top with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry, filling each glass nearly to the top.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Shamrock Shake!

Notes

For a thicker shake, use thicker ice cream or reduce the milk. Serve with cookies or pound cake for a gentle crunch.
