This Shamrock Shake Pie is your favorite McDonald’s Shamrock Shake made into an easy no bake pie!
This recipe is only six ingredients and you can make it in less than 5 minutes! Of all the treats you could make for St. Patrick’s Day, you for sure need to make no bake pie!
Do you guys know that when I started blogging, I was so hesitant to try recipes. I didn’t have the confidence to cook for strangers on the internet. I didn’t think that I would be good at creating recipes. But the thing is that I really love to eat. And I really do love to cook. I love to create. Coming up with new recipes really is a joy that I couldn’t deny. So I started dipping my toes in the waters of developing recipes.
But I started doing it by creating recipes that were . . . weird. Desserts that were other desserts mutated. My S’mores Magic Bars or my Krispy Kreme Pie are perfect examples. I started making cocktails by smashing two other cocktails together. Like my Strawberry Daiquiri Sangria or more recently my Mojito Margarita (seriously so good!).
SHAMROCK SHAKE PIE
Another one of those early weird dessert combos was this Shamrock Shake Pie! I recently made a video of it and decided the photos needed an update.
If every year around this time you start craving a Shamrock Shake, you are going to want to make this pie! It is so easy, fast, and delicious. I love a good no bake pie. It doesn’t get much easier than that. Another great no bake pie that has become super popular recently is my No Bake Baileys Chocolate Pie.
WHAT DO I NEED TO MAKE A SHAMROCK SHAKE PIE?
You only need six ingredients for this amazing dessert!
- instant pudding mix
- milk
- cool whip
- green food coloring
- mint extract
- store bought pie crust (or you could use this great graham cracker crust recipe)
CAN I USE WHIPPING CREAM INSTEAD OF COOL WHIP?
The short answer is no. Besides being lazy, the reason that I use Cool Whip is that it is stabilized. Homemade whipped cream is not. So using homemade whipped cream will result in a melty pie. If you want a homemade option, I would recommend this Homemade Cool Whip.

How about pistachio pudding mix instead of vanilla?
That would also work for the color but I’m not sure how it would taste with the mint.
Paige N says
Holy cow, this really does taste like a shamrock shake!
I just made this and I’m eating a bit of the filling that was left. It’s so much like a shamrock shake! I used one vanilla pudding and one white chocolate pudding because that’s what I had, and I used an Oreo crust. Thanks for the easy recipe!
You are so welcome! I’m so glad you liked it!

Can you freeze overnight? I made last year and it don’t set correctly so I froze and it was better. Not sure what I did wrong. Making it again so I’ll see what happens. Would love your feedback.
Thanks
Hi Sue! I haven’t ever had to freeze this one in order for it to set. You are definitely using two boxes of pudding mix? That is the only thing I can think of.

For adults this pie falls short. It tastes like puddle – great for little kids. Easy – yes. Go adults no go.
I’m sorry this wasn’t a hit for you. This is different from my experience and from the experience of a lot of my readers.
Sam says
Just finished making this for the second time,it’s easy and really does taste like a shamrock shake! The only thing I changed was I added 1 tsp of mint extract instead of half for even more minty flavour.Great recipe I know we’ll keep making.Thank you:)
