WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER MILKSHAKE
An upgrade from a plain chocolate milkshake, this version delivers rich chocolate flavor with the salty-sweet depth of peanut butter. With only three main ingredients, it’s smooth, creamy, and perfect for peanut butter lovers.
Adjust the thickness by changing the amount of milk or letting the ice cream soften slightly. You can also mix peanut butter into other chocolate milkshake variations for a similar taste.
CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER MILKSHAKE INGREDIENTS
Whole Milk – Use whole milk for the creamiest texture. For a thicker shake, reduce or omit the milk.
Chocolate Ice Cream – The sweet, creamy base of the milkshake. You can substitute peanut butter ice cream and add chocolate sauce for a different spin.
Peanut Butter – Creamy peanut butter blends easiest and creates a smooth, even texture.

HOW TO MAKE A PEANUT BUTTER MILKSHAKE
Add the ingredients to the blender in the order listed: milk first, then ice cream, then peanut butter. Blend until smooth. For a thicker shake, omit the milk and let the ice cream soften for 5–10 minutes before blending.
BEST MILK FOR MILKSHAKES
Whole milk gives the richest, least icy shake because the higher fat content helps maintain a smooth texture. You can use lower-fat or plant-based milks, but use less liquid and allow the ice cream to soften a bit to avoid an icy result.
If using dairy-free milk, choose one with a creamy texture such as oat or full-fat coconut for the best mouthfeel.
HOW TO MAKE A THICK PEANUT BUTTER MILKSHAKE
For a thick, spoonable shake, use only slightly softened ice cream and add milk a tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency. You can also add a few ice cubes and blend until creamy if you want extra thickness.
MAKING A MILKSHAKE WITH A BLENDER
Add milk to the blender first, then the ice cream, and finish with the peanut butter. Blend until fully combined and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
MAKING A MILKSHAKE WITHOUT A BLENDER
Scoop ice cream into a large mason jar or deep glass and microwave for 15–30 seconds to slightly soften. Add peanut butter, secure the lid, and shake vigorously. Alternatively, stir with a spoon to break up chunks and mix evenly, using the spoon to break any remaining pieces of ice cream.
