I love St Patrick’s Day!
No, I’m not Irish, but we never fail to celebrate this holiday!
But…I needed a really good ice cream recipe to help our celebrations.

What Makes Leprechan Delight Ice Cream So Special?
So, just what’s so crave worthy about this ice cream flavor?
Oh. I thought you’d never ask!
Any St Patty Ice Cream has to be…you guessed it GREEN!
I didn’t want it to mimic Mint Chocolate Chip (athough that is one of my all time favs). I wanted it to be distinct and different.
The ice cream base is a green vanilla ice cream – loaded with plenty of treasure!
Mint chocolate chunks, white chocolate chips, and graham cracker pieces.
Delightful!
