Description:
This over-the-top milkshake is the ultimate summer dessert drink. It combines velvety chocolate ice cream, creamy peanut butter, and luscious caramel sauce, all blended into one thick, frosty treat. Topped with whipped cream, drizzles, and maybe even a candy bar or two, it’s pure bliss in a glass.
Origin:
Inspired by American diner-style milkshakes and the classic trio of chocolate, peanut butter, and caramel, this milkshake brings together nostalgic flavors with modern indulgence — great for summer parties, dessert nights, or just cooling off in style.
Ingredients (Quantity):
- 2 cups chocolate ice cream
- ¾ cup whole milk (or milk of choice)
- 3 tbsp peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 2 tbsp caramel sauce (plus extra for topping)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Ingredients (Optional Toppings):
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate syrup drizzle
- Chopped peanuts or toffee bits
- Crushed peanut butter cups or Snickers pieces
- Caramel popcorn or pretzels for crunch
Instructions:
- Blend the base:
In a blender, combine chocolate ice cream, milk, peanut butter, caramel sauce, and vanilla. Blend until smooth and creamy. - Adjust texture:
For a thicker shake, add more ice cream. For a thinner shake, add more milk. - Serve:
Drizzle caramel inside your glass, then pour in the milkshake. Top with whipped cream and any extra toppings you love. - Optional dessert bomb:
Rim your glass with peanut butter and crushed peanuts before pouring in the shake for extra flair!
Tips for Success:
- Use high-quality caramel and peanut butter for the richest flavor.
- Blend in ice for a frostier finish.
- Add a pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness.
- Freeze your serving glass for 10 minutes beforehand to keep it chilled longer.
Recommendation:
Enjoy with a spoon and a straw! Perfect on its own or paired with salty snacks like pretzels or popcorn for a sweet-salty contrast.
