You Will Love This Recipe!

Homemade milkshakes are one of our favorite treats to make! Vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, banana, and now this peanut butter milkshake. There’s a flavor for everyone!

You can make it as fancy or plain as you like – blend up the milk, ice cream, and peanut butter and dig right in. Or, add toppings to make it even more special – I have a few different ideas for you in this post.

If you were the kid that loved to dip the spoon in the peanut butter as a snack, this is the milkshake for you. It’s so good!

Ingredients

• Peanut butter – I prefer creamy for this milkshake, but if you want yours to have some crunchy texture feel free to use chunky peanut butter.
• Milk – 2%, whole milk, even skim milk will work. The more fat the milk has the richer your milkshake will be.
• Vanilla ice cream – Premium is better! I would avoid low-fat and fat-free ice cream and treat yourself to the premium kind that is richer and creamier.
• Whipped cream – Make your own from scratch or use your favorite canned whipped topping to make it easy.
• Chopped peanuts – Optional, for the topping

How to Make It

Place the ice cream, peanut butter, and milk in the blender.

Process until the milkshake is your desired consistency. If you like a thicker milkshake add more ice cream, for a thinner one just add more milk.

Add Some Toppings

You can top it with whipped cream and chopped nuts, but here are some other ideas you might like to:

• Drizzle some chocolate sauce or caramel sauce over the top of the whipped cream.
• Add crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafer cookies instead of nuts for a crunchy sweet topping.
• Decorate it with mini chocolate chips, chopped peanut butter chips, or sprinkles.

Recipe Variations

Put a spin on your peanut butter milkshake with these variations!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshake: Switch the vanilla for chocolate ice cream for a twist!

Banana Peanut Butter Milkshake: Add a few slices of fresh sliced banana and blend them with the other ingredients.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake: Add a few tablespoons of jelly to your blender. Grape or strawberry would work great!
