Beat the heat with a creamy, thick peach shake that’s perfect on blazing days or as a late-night treat. Blend frozen peaches and vanilla ice cream for a cool, fruity drink that screams summer. Every sip is juicy and silky-smooth.
The first blend threw me right back to being a kid after softball practice. I love how simple it is and honestly, I make it all the time now.
Dreamy Ingredients
- Vanilla ice cream: The star, making everything creamy and rich—pick a good brand for serious flavor.
- Frozen peaches: Sliced peaches keep your shake nice and frosty. Try for ripe ones—they make all the difference.
- Peach nectar: Adds loads of peachy flavor and keeps the shake easy to sip. Grab ones that aren’t too heavy on the sugar.
- Whole milk: Gives the shake that smooth vibe, but any milk does the trick.
- Sugar: For that sweet punch—adjust to how sweet you like things. Powdered or superfine sugar mixes the best.
Awesome Step-By-Step
- Fruit Goes In:
- Start off by adding your frozen peaches, milk, sweetener, and nectar to the blender. Blend until you don’t see any peach chunks left and it looks thick.
- First Scoop Time:
- Drop in a scoop of ice cream and blend again. Scrape the sides down so it all comes together.
- Blend Again:
- Add that last scoop of ice cream, then go for another blend. You’re looking for a shake that’s thick but still easy to pour—pause if you need to give it a mix.
- Pour and Top:
- Pour your shake into cool glasses. Want a little extra? Top with whipped cream, sprinkles, or fancy toppings you like.

I always have frozen peaches ready in my freezer, so I can blend a taste of summer whenever I feel like it. Making these with my niece is our little thing—we seriously pile on rainbow sprinkles every single time.
How to Store Your Shake
Some left? Tuck it in the freezer and you get something like peach ice cream next time. Want it drinkable again? Blend it up quick. Heads up if you refrigerate—it melts pretty quick, so enjoy soon.
Switch It Up
Use half and half for a lighter option. Plant milks or coconut ice cream swap in with no problem. Got fresh peaches? Just toss in a few ice cubes so your shake is still cold and thick.

Common Questions
- → Is it okay to swap in fresh peaches for frozen?
Yep, just peel and slice your peaches first. Freeze them until they’re nice and firm and you’ll get a great creamy shake.
- → Which milk works best for this shake?
Whole milk makes it rich and thick. If you’d rather keep it light or not use dairy, almond or oat milk is perfect too.
- → What’s the trick for a thicker milkshake?
Throw in even more ice cream or pour in less milk. That’ll turn your shake super thick—maybe even thick enough for a spoon!

If your peaches or juice are already sweet, you can drop the sugar or toss in just a tiny bit to taste.
- → What are the best toppings for a peach milkshake?
Try adding a swirl of whipped cream, some crunchy granola, juicy peach slices, or fun sprinkles to make it extra special.
