Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it’s quick, simple, and made with just a few ingredients. The peaches give natural sweetness and a bright flavor, while the ice cream makes the shake rich and satisfying. I also enjoy how easy it is to adjust the thickness and sweetness to exactly how I like it.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
fresh or frozen peaches
vanilla ice cream
milk
vanilla extract
honey or sugar
Directions
I start by peeling and slicing the peaches if I’m using fresh ones. I add the peaches, vanilla ice cream, milk, vanilla extract, and honey or sugar to a blender.
I blend everything until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed. If the milkshake is too thick, I add a little more milk and blend again. Once it reaches the texture I like, I pour it into glasses and serve immediately.
Servings and timing
I usually get about 2 servings from this recipe.
Preparation time is around 5 minutes.
Blending time is about 2 minutes.
Total time comes to roughly 7 minutes.
Variations
I sometimes add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth. When I want a thicker shake, I use frozen peaches or add extra ice cream. I also like blending in a little yogurt for a lighter, tangier version.
Storage/reheating
I enjoy peach milkshakes fresh, but if I have leftovers, I store them in the freezer for a short time. Before drinking, I let it sit for a few minutes and re-blend to bring back the creamy texture.
FAQs
Can I use canned peaches?
I can use canned peaches, but I drain them well and reduce the added sweetener.
Do I need to peel the peaches?
I usually peel them for a smoother texture, but it’s optional.
Can I make this milkshake dairy-free?
I make it dairy-free by using plant-based ice cream and milk.
How do I make the milkshake thicker?
I add more ice cream or use frozen peaches to thicken it.
Can I add ice to the blender?
I sometimes add a small amount of ice, but I prefer frozen peaches so the flavor stays strong.
Conclusion
This peach milkshake is a simple treat I love because it’s creamy, refreshing, and full of natural fruit flavor. It’s quick to make and always feels like a little moment of sweetness I’m happy to enjoy anytime.
