It looks like we're in for another intimate and low-key St. Patrick's Day this year. While the parades and jam-packed bars serving up green beer may have to be put on hold, that doesn't mean you can't have a fun and festive, socially-distanced celebration at home. Here are a few green St. Patrick's Day desserts to sweeten the day.
Green Velvet Cake or Cupcakes
Red Velvet is so Valentine's Day. Go green this St. Patrick's Day by whipping up a Green Velvet Cake or Cupcakes. This recipe will make one standard layer cake or two dozen rich and moist green cupcakes. With a recipe this easy, you may want to make both!
St. Patrick's Day Mint Schnapps Shakes
Say "cheers" to St. Paddy's Day the fun, yet grown-up, way with these adults-only Mint Schnapps Shakes. These pale green minty shakes can be whipped up in only 5 minutes by blending ice cream with peppermint schnapps, vanilla, and green food colouring. Top with a sprig of fresh mint for an extra refreshing celebration.
Luck o' the Irish Brownie
You won't need the luck to have yourself a great St. Paddy's Day when you make a batch of these Luck o' the Irish Brownies. The rich, minty-green middle layer provides the perfect cool tingle to push these festive treats over the top.
Easy Pistachio Cream Pie
This Easy Pistachio Cream Pie can be made in just a few minutes! It requires no baking and is made with only 5 easy ingredients: milk, cream cheese, whipped topping (like Cool Whip), graham cracker crust, and/or cherries and crushed pistachios for topping.
Matcha Mousse Cake
This vegan Matcha Mousse Cake is a tasty, plant-based way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. You can make a quick crust with whatever (vegan) cookies you have on hand, or make an alternative crust in a food processor using walnuts and/or almonds and few dates. The nutty crust will make this treat gluten-free!
We hope these green St. Patrick's Day desserts help to bring the sweet luck of the Irish home to you and yours this year. To find your home with Hazelview Properties, please visit our website.
