Description
Make an adult version of the classic mint shake using Baileys Irish Cream for a rich, festive treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 teaspoon mint extract
- 2-3 drops green food coloring (optional)
- Whipped cream for topping
- Green sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Place the vanilla ice cream, milk or cream, Baileys Irish Cream, and mint extract into a high-powered blender.
- Add 2 to 3 drops of green food coloring if you want a brighter green color.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and thick. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
- Taste the shake. Add a splash more milk if it is too thick, or a small amount more Baileys if you prefer it stronger.
- Pour the shake into tall glasses.
- Top generously with whipped cream and a sprinkle of green sprinkles.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a thicker shake, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you do not have mint extract, you can substitute with 1 tablespoon of crème de menthe liqueur, reducing the Baileys slightly.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the Baileys and add 1/4 cup extra milk or cream.
