Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Ingredients

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.
