Tips for Making a Milkshake
- If you find that your milkshake is too thick, add a little more milk. If it’s too thin, add more ice cream.
- It’s best to use a blender when making a milkshake, but if you don’t have one, you can use a food processor or an immersion blender.
- For a smooth milkshake, make sure all of the ingredients are well blended.
- If you want a cold milkshake, use frozen fruit and put the milkshake in the freezer for a few minutes before serving.
How do I make a peach milkshake?
It’s easy! Just combine milk, ice cream, and frozen peaches in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and garnish with fresh peach slices and whipped cream, if desired.
Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?
Yes, you can! If you are using fresh peaches, you may want to add a little bit of ice to the blender to help thicken the milkshake.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can make peach milkshakes ahead of time. Just blend everything together and pour into glasses. Cover and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to serve, add a scoop of ice cream and garnish with fresh peach slices and whipped cream.
How To Ripen Fresh Peaches?
If your farmers’ market haul included peaches that are on the hard (or unripe) side, an easy hack for quickly helping them to ripen up is to place them in a brown paper bag. Add as many as you are planning to eat to the bag, fold the bag to loosely seal and let them sit out on the counter for 1-3 days.
How many calories are in a peach milkshake?
This will depend on the ingredients you use. A typical peach milkshake made with milk, ice cream, and frozen peaches will have around 350-400 calories.
