7 Lucky Dessert Recipes for Your St. Patrick’s Day Event

You know it's your lucky day when you get to indulge into an assortment of sweets. While we are on the subject of fortuity, there is no day more opportune than St. Patrick's Day.

In other words, you cannot have a St. Patty's Day celebration without dessert. Below, discover seven festive recipes to serve.

Shamrock Shake by Dinner at the Zoo

One of our favorite items to look forward to during early spring is the return of McDonald's Shamrock Shake, because we are definitely on the side of finding anything minty delicious—and not overly reminiscent of toothpaste. With the help of Dinner at the Zoo, you can easily recreate the recipe at home. All it takes is vanilla ice cream, whole milk and mint extract.

Leprechaun Bark by Delish

Lucky Charms might as well be the poster food for St. Patrick's Day. After all, its mascot is a leprechaun searching for his pot of gold somewhere along the rainbow. For St. Patrick's Day, turn the classic cereal into a delightful dessert with this crunchy bark recipe. It will only cost five minutes of your time to prepare!

Dubai Chocolate Bar by Chocolates and Chai

Technically speaking, the viral Dubai chocolate is the complete opposite (culturally speaking) of St. Patrick's Day. Dubai is pretty much as far away as Ireland as you can get. That said, the most iconic shade of the holiday is green, much like the pistachio filling of this popular treat. Plus, Chocolates and Chai breaks it down for even novices to easily understand.

It might be a little summery, but who cares? We've got all this warm weather coming back, and its zest will be totally different than anything else on your menu.

Green Velvet St. Patrick's Day Cupcakes by Garnish & Glaze

It wouldn't be right not to include a cupcake recipe because they're practically a staple at any celebration since you can easily grab and go. We love Garnish & Glaze's version because it doesn't just add green icing. The cake itself is green! On top, the icing on the cake is literally and figure the golden treasure we all deserve on this lucky day.
