# What You'll Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 2 cups vanilla ice cream, premium full-fat variety

# How To Make It:

01 - Combine vanilla ice cream, whole milk, creamy peanut butter, and vanilla extract in a blender container.
02 - Blend on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds until completely smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down sides of blender as needed.
03 - Test consistency and modify as desired: incorporate additional milk for thinner texture or add more ice cream for thicker body.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Comes together in under five minutes with just four ingredients
  • Tastes exactly like that expensive diner shake but costs a fraction of the price
  • Customizable thickness means you get exactly the texture you crave
02 -
  • Over-blending can actually make shakes thin and warm, so stop as soon as everything is incorporated
  • Natural peanut butter with oil separation will make your shake taste healthy rather than indulgent
03 -
  • If your blender struggles, add the milk first to create a liquid base before adding ice cream
  • Room temperature peanut butter incorporates much faster than cold from the fridge
