I kind of miss the old shake that came in the regular
soda cup, smooshed down with a plastic lid. My son has always known the fancier
version in the domed clear café cup, with whipped cream and a cherry. Even
though St. Patrick’s Day is still a while away, I really couldn’t pass up the
shake.
My son is 13, and I’m pretty sure he’s a bottomless
pit. The other day the cashier at the grocery store said, “You’re hear all the
time. Like a few times a week.” And, yes I am. To feed the teenager. So, I was
fairly certain that he’d guzzle down the shamrock shake. I suppose he had rocky
memories of last year when he drank one at record time, and then felt less than
great. This year he decided to stop three-fourths of the way through – just in
case. Of course, he did ask for another one a few hours later. He did not get
one. I didn’t want to toss the rest of the shake, so I decided to see what I
could do with it.
I’ve read that freezing a milk shake doesn’t work.
But, what if I added a little milk? I tried it out and got some pretty
impressive ice cubes. I did try a one with all shake. It did freeze, but
quickly got mushy. I also jabbed a straw through to make popsicles and added
St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles for a fun look. These are yummy to eat on their own
or you can add them into a glass of cold milk (as they melt you get the minty taste
and green color). If your child lets you steal one or two away, trying adding
them to iced coffee or an iced mocha!
What You’ll Need:
·
A shamrock shake
·
An ice cube tray
·
Sprinkles – Green work well, but I chose
green shamrocks with yellow and white jimmies.
·
Plastic straws
·
Milk
What to Do:
1. Pour
a layer of shake into the ice cube tray. Fill each compartment only half way
up.
2. Add
a layer of milk.
3. Mix
the shake and milk.
4. Pop
the tray into the freezer.
5. Take
the milkshake ice cubes out when they are partially frozen. Push half a straw through
the center to make St. Patrick’s Day popsicles.
6. Take the cubes out of the freezer. Roll the cubes through the sprinkles!
Believe it or not in Ireland you can't get shamrock shakes in McD's - but these look great and I am sure we could make them at home with food colouring. Thanks for linking up to Pin Worthy Wednesday, I have pinned your post to the Pin Worthy Wednesday Pinterest Board.
ReplyDeleteI think with some green food color and a drop of mint you could. I was pretty sure it was an American thing.
