Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package instant mint or vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups whipped topping, divided
  • Green food coloring, a few drops
  • 2 cups crushed chocolate or chocolate wafer cookies

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 tsp mint extract (optional, for extra mint flavor)
  • Whipped cream for topping
  • Sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or extra crushed cookies for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding mixture: Whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk in a large bowl until the mixture thickens. Add a few drops of green food coloring to reach the signature Shamrock Shake green color. Stir in mint extract if you desire a stronger mint flavor.
  2. Blend the cream cheese layer: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gently fold in half of the whipped topping to create a light and fluffy creamy layer that contrasts beautifully with the pudding and cookie layers.
  3. Assemble the layers: In a clear glass dish, spread a layer of crushed cookies as the base. Add a layer of the cream cheese mixture on top, followed by a layer of the mint pudding mixture. Repeat these layers—cookies, cream cheese, pudding—ending with a final cookie layer on top.
  4. Top and chill: Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the final cookie layer. Garnish with sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or extra crushed cookies as desired. Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set firmly.

Notes

  • Use chilled milk and whipped topping to help the layers set faster and hold their shape.
  • Fold whipped topping gently into the cream cheese to preserve the fluffy texture.
  • Crush cookies finely for easier layering and a smoother bite texture.
  • Prepare the dessert a day ahead for best flavor and ease when serving.
  • Use a clear dish to showcase the attractive green and white layered presentation.
