Shamrock Shake pie is a creamy, minty and simple no-bake pie that tastes just like the iconic McDonald's St. Patrick's Day-themed shake.

1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
1-1/2 cups 2% milk
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Green food coloring

Directions

Place pudding mix in a large bowl. Add milk and peppermint extract; whisk vigorously until pudding is smooth, about 2 minutes. Add food coloring, one drop at a time, stirring well between additions, until mixture is light green in color. Fold in whipped topping; add additional drops of green food coloring, if necessary.
Spoon filling into the graham cracker crust; smooth with an offset spatula. Cover; freeze until set, at least 4 hours.
