How To Make Peanut Butter Shake
- Frost the rim of a cup or mason jar with chocolate frosting and decorate with sprinkles, candies, or peanut butter cups.
- Drizzle the inside rim with chocolate syrup.
- Add milk, ice cream, peanut butter, chocolate syrup, and vanilla to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour the milkshake into the cup and garnish. Enjoy with a wide straw!
Storage Instructions
This milkshake is best stored in the freezer (for up to a month). Then allow it to thaw slightly on the counter and stir when able, or you may need to re-blend it.
Do I need to change anything if I use chocolate ice cream?
It depends on how chocolatey you’d like your shake to be. You are welcome to leave out or decrease the chocolate syrup.
Should I use smooth or chunky peanut butter?
I used smooth, but I imagine that crunchy would work as well but may lead to a less desirable and harder to sip texture.
