A Great Peanut Butter Shake
One of our favorite treats on a hot summer day is a delicious peanut butter milkshake. This is a simple recipe that the whole family can enjoy. I LOVE a thicker milkshake and if you do too, just follow the measurement. The milk to ice cream ratio is the secret to the perfect milkshake at home.
The Simple Ingredients
A classic milkshake is the perfect way to finish the day. Peanut butter fans everywhere can satisfy that sweet tooth in less than 5 minutes by combining the perfect milkshake ingredients.
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- Whole Milk
- Smooth peanut butter
Toppings:
- Peanut Butter Cups, Reeses pieces, or chocolate chips
- Chocolate syrup or hot fudge
- Whipped Cream
Pro Tip
Use a high quality vanilla ice cream. The denser and creamier the ice cream the better. Lower quality ice creams that are over whipped with more "air fill" will have less flavor and creaminess.

How to Make Perfect Homemade Milkshakes
- In a blender combine one pint of vanilla ice cream with a quarter cup of creamy peanut butter and ½ cup of whole milk.
- Blend this until smooth.
- Prepare your milkshake glasses with a special rim if desired.
- Pour the milkshake into your tall glass, add an extra large straw, top with whipped cream and enjoy.
Extra Flavors to Add In
The first and most obvious change up is to make this a chocolate peanut butter milkshake. Just switch out the vanilla for chocolate ice cream and let the chocolate peanut butter combination sing!
You can also add extra toppings for more delicious flavor. Add a drizzle of chocolate sauce to the side of the glass or on top of the whipped cream. Caramel sauce is another great option here.
