Ingredients
- 8 oz whipped topping thawed
- green food coloring
- St. Patrick's Day sprinkles
Instructions
- Clear space in the freezer for a large cutting board or baking sheet lined with wax paper.
- Use a pencil to trace the rim of your mug on the wax paper as a guide. In a bowl, mix whipped topping with green food coloring, shaking the bottle first to prevent separation. If the green appears too yellow, add a small amount of blue to balance the color.
- Transfer the tinted whipped topping to an 18” pastry bag fitted with a 1M large star tip. Pipe a shamrock shape within the circle guide, adding a second layer for extra height.
- Sprinkle generously with St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. When ready to serve, carefully lift with a spatula and place on a mug of hot chocolate. Enjoy!

- Prep ahead – Freeze overnight for best results.
- Use a guide – Trace your mug’s rim for a perfect fit.
- Layer up – A second layer makes them fluffier.
- Lift carefully – Use a spatula to keep the shape.
