Description
This homemade peach milkshake recipe is a creamy blend of vanilla ice cream, fresh peaches, and a few little extras that make all the difference. It’s the perfect treat for summer!
Ingredients
Scale
For The Peach Milkshakes
- 1 1/2 cups fresh peaches, diced (2 large peaches)
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
- 1 pint (2 cups) vanilla ice cream
For Serving (Optional)
- Whipped cream
- Caramel sauce
- Fresh peach slices
- Fresh mint, cinnamon sticks, etc.
Instructions
- Blend Peaches. To start, add peaches and brown sugar (if using) to a blended. Mix until the peaches are mostly smooth.
- Add Ice Cream to the blender and mix until smooth and evenly blended. (This will only take 10-20 seconds!)
- Assemble. For pretty presentation, drizzle the inside of 2 milkshake glasses with caramel sauce. Add a few tablespoons of diced peaches to the bottom of each glass. Fill each glass halfway with peach milkshake, then top with another few tablespoons of diced peaches. Fill the glasses the rest of the way, then top with whipped cream, more caramel sauce, and more peaches, as desired.
Notes
- Can I Use Frozen Peaches? Yes! Keep in mind the milkshakes will be much thicker if they’re made with frozen peaches. I recommend adding 1/4 cup whole milk with the peaches. Keep in mind the milkshake will take a bit longer to blend. (Dicing the frozen peaches up first can help!)
- Milk. Depending on how thick you like your peach shakes, you may or may not need any milk. I usually don’t use it if I’m using fresh peaches, since the ripe fruit provides enough liquid. If your ice cream is extra thick or hard, you’re using frozen peaches, or you prefer a thinner milkshake, you may want to add milk a little at a time. 2-4 Tablespoons is often enough!
- Make It Thicker. For a thicker shake, you can use frozen peaches or add 1/2-1 cup additional ice cream. (I don’t like to reduce the peaches, or the flavor isn’t as peachy)
- Make It Thinner. For a thinner shake, add 2-4 Tablespoons whole milk with the ice cream, and blend till you reach your desired consistency.
