How to make Shamrock Cookies and Cream Milkshake
Place 8 Oreo Cookies in a Ziploc bag and bash it with a rolling pin or a heavy pan till its crushed. Take care not to completely turn into powder.
We want chunky pieces. Keep aside 2 tablespoons for garnish.
In a blender, combine ice cream, milk, peppermint extract and few drops of food coloring.
Blend together at high-speed until smooth.
Divide the crushed Oreo into the two serving glasses.
Pour the milkshake and gently mix with a spoon.

Notes
- The amount of food coloring is a personal choice. For the cool minty green color in the photos, I added 8 drops of green food color.
- Do not add the crushed Oreos directly in the blender along with the ice-cream. The Oreos will dissolve in the shake and give it a slimy green color, which would be very not pretty.

This looks delicious. I love minty shakes in the month of March. Now, I don’t have to buy them. I can make them instead. I love the addition of the chocolate cookies, too. Mint and chocolate are the perfect combination.
