Ingredients You’ll Need

Milkshake
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen sliced peaches (peeled if fresh)
- 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2% recommended)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream for topping
- Fresh peach slices for garnish

How to Make Peach Milkshake

Step 1: Gather and Prep Your Ingredients

Start by making sure you have all your ingredients ready to go. If you’re using fresh peaches, peel and slice them for the smoothest texture. Frozen peaches can be used straight from the freezer—no need to thaw!

Step 2: Blend Everything Together

In your blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, peaches, milk, and vanilla extract. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. If you prefer a thicker Peach Milkshake, feel free to add a scoop more ice cream or use a bit less milk.

Step 3: Taste and Adjust

Give your milkshake a quick taste test. If you love it extra sweet, add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a little twist. Blend again for a few seconds to mix in any extras.

Step 4: Pour and Serve

Pour your Peach Milkshake into chilled glasses. Top each with a generous swirl of whipped cream and a fresh peach slice if you like. Pop in a straw or a long spoon, and your summer treat is ready to enjoy!

How to Serve Peach Milkshake

Garnishes

A Peach Milkshake is always better with a little flair. I love to crown each glass with a billowy pile of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a bright wedge of peach on the rim. A few fresh mint leaves also add a pop of color and a hint of freshness that complements the peachy flavor beautifully.

Side Dishes

Pair your Peach Milkshake with crisp butter cookies, a slice of pound cake, or a handful of salty pretzels for a sweet-and-salty combo. It’s also fantastic alongside a brunch spread or as a cooling treat with a summer picnic.

Creative Ways to Present

Try serving your Peach Milkshake in mason jars for a rustic vibe, or in tall soda fountain glasses for a retro diner feel. For parties, mini milkshakes in shot glasses make adorable, easy-to-sip desserts. Don’t forget fun straws and tiny cocktail umbrellas for extra personality!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you find yourself with leftover Peach Milkshake (lucky you!), pour it into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It’ll keep for up to one day, though the texture will be a bit thinner—just give it a quick stir before enjoying.

Freezing

To freeze, pour any extra milkshake into popsicle molds or small containers. Once frozen, you have a delicious Peach Milkshake ice pop! This is a fantastic way to enjoy the flavors on a hot day.

Reheating

While you won’t want to “reheat” a milkshake in the traditional sense, if your shake has been in the fridge or freezer, simply let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Give it a good stir or a quick blend to restore its creamy consistency before serving.

FAQs

Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh or frozen?

Absolutely! Canned peaches (drained well) work wonderfully and make this Peach Milkshake even more convenient to whip up year-round. Just look for peaches packed in juice rather than syrup for the best flavor.

How do I make this milkshake dairy-free?

Swap in your favorite plant-based vanilla ice cream and use almond, oat, or coconut milk. The result is every bit as creamy and delicious, with a lovely hint of fruit that shines through.

Can I add other fruits to the Peach Milkshake?

Of course! Strawberries, raspberries, or even a handful of mango can be blended in for a fun twist. Just keep the peach as the main player so the flavor stays true to the classic milkshake.

What’s the best way to get a thicker milkshake?

For a thicker Peach Milkshake, use frozen peaches and reduce the amount of milk. You can also add an extra scoop of ice cream. Blending everything while the ingredients are super cold helps achieve that perfect, spoonable texture.

Can I prepare Peach Milkshake ahead of time for a party?

Yes, you can blend the milkshake a couple of hours ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Give it a quick blitz in the blender before serving to restore its frothy texture. For a make-ahead treat, pour the shake into popsicle molds for a frozen dessert version!

Final Thoughts

I hope you’re inspired to treat yourself and your loved ones to a frosty, flavor-packed Peach Milkshake soon! It’s a recipe that delivers pure summer happiness in every sip, and once you try it, you’ll find yourself making it all season long.
