Instructions

Notes
- Depending on the consistency of your ice cream, you may need to add more ice cream or milk to achieve desired thickness.
- The controversy over whipped cream is thick (with stiff peaks!) on this topic. Traditional Shamrock Shakes do NOT have whipped cream. McDonald's starting adding that back in 2010. But my philosophy is that whipped cream is never, ever wrong.
