Description
Shamrock Shake pie is a creamy, minty and simple no-bake pie that tastes just like the iconic McDonald’s St. Patrick’s Day-themed shake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1–1/2 cups 2% milk
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Green food coloring
- 1 tub (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 9-inch graham cracker crust
- Whipped cream and maraschino cherries, for garnish
Instructions
- Add the instant vanilla pudding mix to a large bowl. Add the milk and peppermint extract, then whisk vigorously for two minutes, until the pudding is smooth.
- Add the food coloring, one drop at a time, stirring well between additions, until you achieve a light green color.
- Fold in the whipped topping. Add more green food coloring if necessary.
- Spoon the filling into the graham cracker crust and smooth with an offset spatula.
- Cover the pie and place it in the freezer until firm, at least four hours.
- Garnish the pie or each slice with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry, then serve.
Notes
- Let the pudding sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
- If you don’t have green food coloring, mix equal amounts of yellow and blue food coloring.
- Ensure the whipped topping is completely thawed before folding it in.
- Avoid overfilling the pie; refrigerate any extra filling.
- If frozen for more than four hours, let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
