Description
Shamrock Shake Fudge is a no-bake, mint-flavored white chocolate fudge inspired by the famous McDonald’s Shamrock Shake. It’s made with condensed milk, white chocolate, and peppermint extract, creating a creamy, rich texture with a refreshing kick. This festive green fudge is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations or as a year-round treat for mint lovers!
Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A few drops of green food coloring (adjust to desired shade)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional, for extra texture)
- 1/4 cup crushed mint candies or Andes mints (for garnish)
- Whipped cream and maraschino cherries (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease with nonstick spray.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and salt. Add green food coloring a few drops at a time, mixing well until you achieve the perfect Shamrock Shake-inspired shade.
If using mini marshmallows, gently fold them into the fudge mixture. This adds a fun, chewy texture reminiscent of a classic milkshake.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle crushed mint candies or Andes mints on top for an extra burst of mint flavor.
Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or until the fudge is firm. For best results, let it chill overnight.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and, if desired, top with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry for the full Shamrock Shake effect!
Notes
- For a softer fudge: Use a little more condensed milk.
- For a stronger mint flavor: Add an extra drop of peppermint extract, but be careful—it can become overpowering.
- For a richer fudge: Stir in a tablespoon of butter while melting the chocolate.
- For extra texture: Add crushed cookies or sprinkles to the top before chilling.
