How to Make a McDonald's Shamrock Shake At Home

Welcome back to Snow Dogs Cooking! It's time for another fun video! Some of you guys may have noticed that on our main channel, YouTube.com slash Gone to the Snow Dogs, we uploaded a video where we made Shamrock shakes for dogs. A lot of you asked us to make Shamrock shakes for people. Well, it's St. Patrick's Day and we needed something to make. So, what better to make than Shamrock shakes? Let's do it! Shelby's already in here helping. You're already in here helping? Yeah? She's like, I just want this part right here. I want the whipped cream. Oh, whipped cream! So, we have our ice cream machine. We need the inside part, but first we gotta mix things together. Frozen first, so you gotta freeze the inside. Yep! I will put an Amazon affiliate link to that ice cream machine down below because it's awesome and I love it! I love it, love it, love it! Yeah! We're gonna make some Shamrock shakes. We need to measure some things. We need measuring cups. Oh, we got another dog coming to join. Do you want a big measuring cup? No, we just need four. You can probably put the sugar in first. Then we only need to use one measuring cup. We need one cup of sugar and four cups of milk. Now, we're making milkshakes. We're not actually making ice cream. Some people call this ice milk. Iced milk? Yeah! Because we're making milkshakes, we're not making ice cream and then mixing the ice cream with milk. We're making it a little bit different so we can drink it sooner. Instead of having to wait for this to actually freeze. We're kind of making ice milk. We're making our own version of Shamrock shakes. That's what we're doing. That's a lot of sugar. It's totally good for you. Don't worry about it. Wait! I think I got Memphis now too. Hi Memphis! How are you? You coming to have Shamrock shakes too? You guys already had your Shamrock shakes. Okay! We're gonna add a half a teaspoon of mint extract. Oh yeah! Okay! We're gonna add a teaspoon of mint extract. Stop confusing me guys! I added a half when I did it with the dogs. We're making more and this is for people. Not for dogs. Yeah! Right here! Come over here! Now do it! I got some on my hand. Don't get that in your eye. I'm gonna do this. This might seem silly. It's not sweet at all. Should I mix the food coloring in here and stir it a little bit first or should we just wait? You can mix it to color. Because when you get like solid things with this type of food coloring... It doesn't seem to mix. I don't think two drops is enough. You'd be surprised. I will put an affiliate link for this stuff as well. I love this food coloring. One more! One more? Three drops? That was a bubble. Oh God! That was a big drop! They probably won't change it up much more. I can make it a little darker. Pour the milk in there buddy. Four cups of milk. We're using Fair Life milk which is actually lactose free. So this is gonna be a little bit different. Ice cream machine can make this. I hope so. I'm pretty sure we can freeze this. You're gonna make a mess. It's gonna drip. You're gonna make a mess. Gosh! That looks really pretty. It does. Alright! Now we want to get the sugar and the milk all mixed together. Then we'll go on to the next step. Are you helping Memphis? These girls are like, Where's our Shamrock shakes? You already had Shamrock shakes. But look! I got cups for us when I went to McDonald's as well. So we can use big McDonald's cups as well. Right? I know! Shamrock shakes! Alright! Let's turn it into ice milk. I'm gonna pour kind of quick so I don't drip. Go ahead! You're good! This is our ice cream machine. This thing is already frozen. It'll mix cause this will mix it up. Alright! We got to put it on here before it starts freezing to the side. Alright! We're gonna take this and put it on here. We should probably plug this in. It's not gonna do anything if it's not plugged in. Then this goes on the top. There you go! Then make sure it's locked. Woo! I knocked things over. We need to plug this in. I can't do those things at once. I got it! I got it! Now, turn it on! There we go! See that? There we go! The best thing about this ice cream machine? Fifteen minutes! It'll be done in fifteen minutes. We will have ice milk. It's quiet! You haven't seen it work yet, have you? Oh yeah! We did! We made ice cream once. There we go! We're gonna let that mix. Smells amazing! Oh my goodness! Do you want to stick a spoon in there and taste it? I don't know! Is it cheating? Maybe! How else do we know if it's done? We wait fifteen minutes. Oh! Ok! I guess so. Yeah! So... Jamie can help you spatula some of that stuff off. I might be able to shake it out. You might be able to. It's gonna get stuck in the middle. So, we let it go for... About twenty minutes. Fifteen to twenty minutes is pretty good. That looks... Like a good milkshake consistency to me. Yeah! That looks delicious! We got our awesome ice cream container here. That I also got from Amazon. We're gonna scoop some of this into these cups. Then, put the rest in here. Just... Don't drip it all over the place. Oooh! That looks like a milkshake to me. Smells minty! Yeah! It smells minty the whole time. Alright! We'll get these all... Pretty up! What are you doing down there lady? What are you doing? She's like, I had one of those the other day. It was super good! I really liked it. I'll totally have some more. You had a dog version. It was made with yogurt. We're gonna go ahead and decorate these a little bit. Cause, you know... It's not a shake. We got some whipped cream. Then, you know... Memphis is like, What? Take it! There you go! Shelby's like, this is my favorite stuff ever! Oakley, here! Want some? Memphis! See? I wasn't even looking. Actually, I was. The whole internet was watching. That's hot! She's like, I'm eating this! No, you can't have it. You got some. Do you guys want this green stuff on it too? Do you want to make it real pretty? Just eat it! It's like green stuff. It just makes it pretty for pictures. Oh! It's not like caramel or... No! It's just like cake decorating. Cake stuff that you write on a cake. Oh! Sugar! Yeah! I want some of that on there! Sprinkly sugars! Oh yeah! More sugar! It's pretty green! Those look nice! What you think? Should we do sprinkles as well? I mean, we're trying to do super green. Those sprinkles look like rabbit food. They do! Don't say that! They're gonna taste like alfalfa. Just a little bit of those. Sweet! Move all that out of the way. There's one... There's two... And there's three. Alright! Now we got to take a picture. Hurry up before they melt! Memphis, you already stole some of this! Oh! Here they come! They're like... Are you ready? Ready? Cheers! Cheers! It's very thick! Oh! Very minty! That was the goal! It is very minty! It's perfect thickness! It's not too minty though! I don't know! It's actually pretty good! I don't think it's too minty! It smells really minty! We were concerned it was gonna be too minty! But I think the thickness of it really helps! Yeah! It's perfect for the thickness! I have a hard time talking! Yeah! Don't drink it too fast! You'll get a belly ache! You should have got those big straws! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! This reminds me of an actual McDonald's shake because it's so thick! You're like trying to suck through the straw! It might be a little bit mintier! You can see the straw is still green. I don't know if you can still... Memphis is like, I can see it! Let me jump over there and try it! Sorry guys! You guys had your own! Yeah! You had your own! I was craving these all week! We knew we were gonna make these! We were like, I'm not gonna get one from McDonald's! Now I'm gonna have to try the McDonald's one and I'm gonna have to try the Arby's one and put it in comparison to this! You're gonna have to try tomorrow! Because then they're gone! Really? Yeah! Tomorrow is after Shamrock! After that, they're usually pretty gone! They don't last long! If you're lucky! I don't know! I just always get them on my birthday! Oh yeah! That's true! Greg's birthday is coming March 22nd! I got it right! I kept saying March 23rd! Anyway! We might have to make a cake! We might have to make a cake! That's a good idea! A mayonnaise cake?
