Instructions
- Prep the Peaches
Start by peeling and slicing your ripe peaches. Fresh peaches provide the best flavor, but frozen peaches can also work in a pinch. - Add to Blender
Place the peach slices, vanilla ice cream, milk, and vanilla extract (if using) into a blender. Using cold ingredients helps keep the milkshake thick and creamy. - Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You can adjust the consistency by adding a bit more milk or a handful of ice for a frostier texture. - Taste and Adjust
Taste your milkshake and add a little sugar or honey if needed (only if your peaches aren’t very sweet). Blend again briefly to mix. - Pour and Serve
Pour into two tall glasses. Add a swirl of whipped cream on top and garnish with a peach slice or mint sprig if desired. - Enjoy Immediately
This milkshake is best served right away—thick, cold, and full of peachy flavor!
