Notes
Ingredient Substitution Notes
- Whole milk. 2% milk, half and half or even heavy cream are good substitutes for whole milk. Remember, the higher the fat content -the creamier your shamrock shake will be.
- Vanilla ice cream. I suggest using organic vanilla ice cream so you get pure ice cream without undesirable ingredients. Or you can simply use your favorite vanilla ice cream!
- Mint extract. you can use peppermint extract - but for the most authentic shamrock shake flavor I suggest hunting down mint extract which is a mix of spearmint and peppermint.
