Cooking Tips

Here are some tips for making the perfect chocolate peanut butter milkshakes:

• Let the ice cream soften slightly for easier blending.
• Use natural peanut butter for the best flavor.
• Add milk gradually until you reach the desired consistency.
• Use a blender for thick, spoon-coating shakes. A mixer works too.
• Swirl in chocolate syrup or peanut butter sauce for extra decadence.
• Top Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshakes with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, peanut butter cups – anything goes!
• For peanut butter banana shakes, add a frozen banana.
• Make it an adult shake by spiking with vodka or rum.

How to Serve Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshake

Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshakes taste great on their own, but here are fun serving ideas:

• Make it a milkshake flight – Offer mini milkshakes in flavors like chocolate, peanut butter, vanilla, and salted caramel. Let guests sample the different flavors. Adults might enjoy a boozy flight with spirits.
• Milkshake bar – Set up a DIY milkshake bar with a variety of mix-ins so guests can customize their shakes. Offer things like chocolate chips, peanut butter cups, pretzels, coconut, bananas, etc. Provide long spoons for mixing right in the glass.
• Milkshake and a movie – For a fun night in, pair milkshakes with a family movie night. Top shakes with themed candies or snacks to match the movie.
• Decadent milkshake dessert – Layer crushed cookies, ice cream, peanut butter, and chocolate ganache in a glass. Top with whipped cream, drizzles of sauce, sprinkles, and a cherry.
• Adult boozy shake – Spike it up for grown-ups by adding a shot of vodka, rum, Kahlua, or other liqueur to the shake.
• Milkshake party – For a fun get-together, offer a DIY milkshake bar with lots of fun toppings and flavors. Make it a contest to see who can create the most decked-out shake.
• Milkshake happy hour – Have an adults-only evening get-together with boozy peanut butter-chocolate milkshake cocktails made with ice cream and spirits.
• Themed milkshakes – Come up with fun creations based on holidays like spooky Halloween shakes or festive Christmas shakes.
