Description
A creamy and fruity peach milkshake that’s a perfect summer treat or nostalgic dessert for any season.
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (about 320–360 g)
- 1 cup peach slices (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1/2 cup milk (whole milk for richest texture; substitute almond, oat, or coconut milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional; use honey or maple syrup to taste)
Instructions
- Chill the glasses in the freezer for 5–10 minutes if you like a frosty presentation.
- Prepare the peaches: peel (optional), pit, and roughly chop fresh peaches. Drain canned peaches.
- Add to a blender: scoop in the vanilla ice cream, add the peach slices, pour in the milk, and add the vanilla extract.
- Start blending on low to combine, then increase to medium-high. Blend 20–40 seconds until smooth.
- Check texture. If too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons milk and pulse again. If too thin, add more ice cream or some frozen peaches and pulse.
- Taste and stir in up to 1 tablespoon sugar (or sweetener) if needed. Blend briefly to incorporate.
- Pour immediately into the chilled glasses. Top with whipped cream, a sliced peach, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Serve at once.
Notes
For a smoother mouthfeel, strain out tiny peach fibers with a fine mesh if desired. Clean your blender ASAP—sticky fruit and dairy can set quickly.
