Description
A refreshing and minty twist on the classic McDonald's McFlurry, this Shamrock McFlurry recipe combines creamy vanilla ice cream with cool whip, mint extract, and crushed Oreos, creating a delightful dessert perfect for St. Patrick's Day or any time you want a festive treat.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 3 oz cool whip
- 1/4 tsp mint extract
- 2 tbsp milk
- a drop of green gel food coloring (add more to make it brighter)
- 6 Oreos (crushed)
Instructions
- Blend Base Ingredients: Add the vanilla ice cream, cool whip, milk, mint extract, and green gel food coloring to a blender. Blend the mixture until it is smooth and well combined, ensuring the mint flavor and green color are evenly distributed.
- Add Oreos: Incorporate the crushed Oreos into the blended mixture by pulsing the blender a few times. This step is important to keep some larger Oreo chunks for texture, so avoid overmixing.
- Serve: Pour the creamy Shamrock McFlurry into serving cups. For an extra crunch and visual appeal, garnish the top with additional crushed Oreos. Serve immediately with a spoon and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the amount of green gel food coloring to achieve your preferred shade of green.
- Use full-fat vanilla ice cream for the creamiest texture.
- For a stronger mint flavor, you can increase the mint extract slightly, but be cautious as it can become overpowering.
- Crushing Oreos by hand works great to control chunk size.
- This recipe serves 2 and is best enjoyed immediately to maintain the perfect texture.
