Shamrock Shake Pie: A Minty Delight for St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀🥧
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup green food coloring (optional, for that signature Shamrock Shake color)
- 1 cup whipped topping (for garnish)
- Chocolate shavings or mint leaves (for decoration)
Instructions:
-
Whip the heavy cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium speed until it begins to thicken. Gradually add the powdered sugar, and continue beating until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
-
Add flavoring: Mix in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract. If you’d like to make your pie a vibrant green color, add the green food coloring a few drops at a time until you reach the desired shade.
-
Fill the crust: Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the graham cracker crust. Spread it evenly in the pie crust to form a smooth, fluffy filling.
-
Chill the pie: Place the pie in the fridge and let it chill for at least 4 hours or until it is firm and set.
-
Garnish: Before serving, top with a generous swirl of whipped topping. Decorate with chocolate shavings or mint leaves for a festive, St. Patrick’s Day touch!
-
Serve: Slice, serve, and enjoy this minty, creamy pie with friends and family. It’s the perfect treat to celebrate the holiday!
Tips:
- Make it extra minty: If you love a strong mint flavor, you can add a bit more peppermint extract to the filling, but be careful not to overdo it, as it can get overpowering.
- Personalize it: Add some crushed mint chocolate chips or a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top for added texture and flavor!
- No graham cracker crust?: If you prefer a different crust, you can substitute with an Oreo crust or even a cookie crust for a fun twist!
This Shamrock Shake Pie is sure to be a hit, whether you’re celebrating St. Patrick’s Day or just craving a minty, refreshing dessert. Enjoy! 🍀🥧
