Tips for Making Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshakes
- For a thicker milkshake, you can add an extra cup of ice cream or simply omit some of the milk. To make the milkshake thinner, add extra milk until its thinned out enough for your preference.
- If you don’t have smooth peanut butter on hand, you can certainly use crunchy peanut butter on hand. The blender will grind up most of the peanuts in crunchy peanut butter, so it doesn’t really affect the creamy texture too much.
- You can use most any kind of milk you have on hand. Whole milk works best to make a creamy shake, but you can also use 2% milk. For best results, avoid using skim milk as it can make the milkshake thinner.
Can I Make These Milkshakes in Advance?
Yes! You can blend them up and pour them in individual glasses. Then just set the glasses in the freezer up to a few hours before serving. Before serving them, allow the shakes to set out for a few minutes to loosen up.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Milkshake Recipe Variations and Add-in’s
- Ice cream: If you want more chocolate flavor, you can use chocolate ice cream in place of the vanilla. For even more chocolate decadence, you can blend in a couple tablespoons chocolate syrup or unsweetened cocoa powder. Afterall, you can never have too much chocolate, right?
- Peanut butter: You can use regular peanut butter, natural peanut butter or even almond butter.
- Boozy milkshake: You can add a little Rum Chata, Kahlúa or other chocolate liqueur for a delicious adult treat.
- Chunky milkshake: After you have blended the milkshake, you can fold in chopped up peanut butter cups or Reese’s pieces.
- Chocolate peanut butter banana milkshake: If there is one thing that can possibly elevate these amazing milkshakes, it is the addition of ripe bananas. To keep the milkshake super cold, you may want to use a frozen banana and blend it with the milk first, before adding the other ingredients.
- Milk: If you’re wanting to use a dairy free milk in your shakes, you can use almond milk, unsweetened coconut milk or oat milk. They have a thinner consistency, so may want to use a little less than you would whole milk.
- Optional toppings: Add even more fun to these milkshakes by adding chocolate sprinkles. You can add a peanut butter drizzle to the top using a melted tablespoon of peanut butter. Caramel sauce makes another great topping.
- Rimmed glasses: You can really make these milkshakes look fancy by rimming the glass with chocolate sauce and then roll in crushed peanuts.
