Shamrock Shake Cupcakes Recipe: Moist mint cupcakes topped with white chocolate whipped cream. Your favorite McDonald’s Shake in cupcake form!
If their new (fake??) mozzarella sticks are not enough to get to pop into Mcdonalds, I bet the Limited Edition Shamrock Shake will lure you in.
I adore Shamrocks shakes both from Mcdonalds and homemade.
These Shamrock Shake cupcakes combine everything I love about those famous shakes. The shamrock shake cupcake has just the right of mint flavor with just a hint of vanilla. Then they’re topped with a sweetened white chocolate whipped cream. Don’t forget the cherry on top!
