Five Guys Peanut Butter Milkshake (Printable)
Creamy peanut butter and vanilla ice cream blended into a thick, nutty dessert treat.
# What You Need:
→ Dairy
01 - 2 cups vanilla ice cream, premium full-fat variety
02 - 1/2 cup cold whole milk
→ Flavorings
03 - 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, unsweetened or lightly sweetened
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

06 - Crushed roasted peanuts for garnish
07 - Chocolate syrup or chocolate chips (optional)
# How To Make It:
01 - Combine vanilla ice cream, whole milk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract in blender. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed.
02 - Test thickness and adjust: add additional milk 1 tablespoon at a time for thinner consistency or more ice cream for thicker texture. Blend briefly after each adjustment.
03 - Pour into chilled glasses immediately. Top with whipped cream, crushed peanuts, and chocolate syrup if using. Serve with straw and long spoon.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It comes together in literally five minutes with ingredients you probably already have
- The texture is incredibly thick and creamy, just like the ones that make your brain freeze
02 -
- The shake thickens up quickly if left sitting, so serve immediately after blending
- Natural peanut butter creates a more pronounced peanut flavor but can sometimes separate slightly
03 -
- Slightly softened ice cream blends more smoothly than rockhard straight from the freezer
- If the shake is too thick to pour, add milk one tablespoon at a time
