A quick and easy spring treat, this creamy mint Oreo shamrock shake blends vanilla ice cream, milk, peppermint, and Oreo cookies for a nostalgic, indulgent dessert perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any sweet craving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups vanilla ice cream (about 1.5 pints)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 4–6 drops green food coloring (optional)
  • 6–8 Oreo cookies, crushed (plus extra for garnish)
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Sprinkles or green sanding sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients: vanilla ice cream, milk, peppermint extract, green food coloring, and Oreo cookies. Prepare whipped cream and sprinkles if using.
  2. Crush Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin or pulse in a blender/food processor. Reserve a few larger chunks for stirring in later.
  3. In a blender, combine vanilla ice cream, milk, peppermint extract, and green food coloring. Blend on high for 20–30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add about 2/3 of the crushed Oreos to the blender. Pulse 2–3 times to distribute cookies without fully blending them.
  5. Check consistency: If too thick, add a splash of milk (2 tablespoons at a time) and pulse. If too thin, add more ice cream and blend briefly.
  6. Pour shake into tall glasses. Stir in reserved cookie chunks.
  7. Top with whipped cream, extra crushed Oreos, and sprinkles or green sugar if desired.
  8. Serve immediately with straws and long spoons.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies and check ice cream label. For dairy-free, use vegan ice cream and plant-based milk. Pulse Oreos in at the end for best color and texture. Chill glasses for extra frosty shakes. Work quickly as the shake melts fast. To rim glasses, dip in honey and crushed cookies before pouring.
