Description

This Shamrock Shake Pie is a delightful no-bake dessert inspired by the classic McDonald’s Shamrock Shake. Made with vanilla instant pudding, cool whip, mint extract, and a hint of green food coloring, it’s an easy and festive treat perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. With just six ingredients and minimal prep time, this creamy, minty pie comes together quickly in a graham cracker crust and is sure to impress.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk (skim milk recommended)
  • 8 oz cool whip (thawed or homemade)
  • 1/2 tsp mint extract
  • 16 drops green food coloring

Crust

  • 1 store bought graham cracker crust

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pudding Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla instant pudding mix and milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Add Whipped Topping and Flavoring: Fold in the thawed cool whip, mint extract, and green food coloring into the pudding mixture, stirring gently until everything is evenly incorporated and the filling is a pleasant green color.
  3. Assemble Pie: Pour the prepared mixture into the store bought graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly to fill the crust.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least four hours or preferably overnight, allowing it to set completely and develop a firm, creamy texture.
  5. Serve: When ready to serve, top each slice with additional whipped cream and a cherry, if desired, to enhance the presentation and flavor.
