An adult version of the classic Shamrock Shake featuring smoked whipped cream and smoked simple syrup, enhanced with WhistlePig Whiskey for a festive St. Patrick's Day treat. Kids can enjoy a non-alcoholic version drizzled with chocolate.
1. To make smoked whipped cream: Whisk 2-3 cups of heavy whipping cream with 1/2 tsp green food coloring. Pour the mixture into a disposable aluminum pan. Smoke at 180°F for 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Chill the covered cream overnight in the refrigerator. After chilling, add 1/4 cup powdered sugar (or more to taste) and whip into stiff peaks.
2. For the Shamrock Shake: In a blender, combine 3 cups of good quality vanilla ice cream, 1 cup whole milk, 4 oz WhistlePig Whiskey, 2 oz Mint Irish Cream, 1 oz Traeger Grills Smoked simple syrup, 1 tsp green food coloring, and a pinch of Kosher salt. Pulse until smooth.
3. Garnish the shakes with green sprinkles, a St Patrick’s Day stirrer, a reusable straw, and the prepared Smoked Green Whipped Cream.
