Five Guys Peanut Butter Milkshake (Printable version)
A creamy blend of vanilla ice cream and peanut butter, creating a thick, satisfying shake in just 5 minutes.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Dairy
01 - 2 cups vanilla ice cream, preferably premium full-fat
02 - 1/2 cup whole milk, cold
→ Flavorings
03 - 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, unsweetened or lightly sweetened
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Optional Toppings
05 - Whipped cream, for serving
06 - Crushed roasted peanuts, for garnish
07 - Chocolate syrup or chocolate chips
# How to Make It:
01 - Combine vanilla ice cream, whole milk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract in a blender.
02 - Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, approximately 30–45 seconds. Pause to scrape down blender sides as needed.
03 - Test consistency and modify: add additional milk for thinner texture or more ice cream for thicker consistency.
04 - Pour milkshake into chilled glasses. Top with whipped cream, crushed peanuts, and chocolate syrup if desired. Serve immediately with straw and long spoon.
# Expert tips:
01 -
- It hits that perfect spot between dinner and dessert without requiring any actual cooking or heating up your kitchen
- The texture is ridiculously thick and creamy, almost like soft serve that you can drink through a straw
02 -
- If your blender seems to be struggling, stop and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula rather than just letting it run forever
- Serving these immediately is nonnegotiable because they start losing that perfect texture within minutes
03 -
- Let your ice cream sit on the counter for exactly 5 minutes before blending for the smoothest consistency
- The secret to that diner-style thickness is using less milk than you think you need
