The Ultimate Salted Caramel & Peanut Butter Shake
Ingredients
-
The Base: 3 large scoops of premium vanilla bean ice cream, 1/2 cup whole milk, and 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter.
-
The Glaze: 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling).
-
The Toppings: Whipped cream, one extra scoop of vanilla ice cream, 1/4 cup crushed roasted peanuts, and 1 fresh strawberry.
Instructions
-
Prep the Glass: Take a chilled glass mug. Using a spoon, drizzle salted caramel sauce along the inside walls of the glass in a vertical pattern. Place the mug in the freezer for 5 minutes to let the caramel “set” so it doesn’t immediately melt into the shake.
-
Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream, milk, and peanut butter. Blend on medium speed until thick and smooth. If it’s too thin, add another half-scoop of ice cream; if too thick, add a splash of milk.
-
The Assembly: Pour the blended mixture into your prepared glass, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
-
The “Freakshake” Crown: * Pipe a generous mound of whipped cream over the top.
-
Carefully place a solid scoop of vanilla ice cream right in the center of the whipped cream.
-
Drizzle more salted caramel over the scoop, letting it overflow down the sides of the mug.
-
Generously sprinkle crushed peanuts over the entire top.
-
-
The Finishing Touch: Slice a fresh strawberry halfway through the bottom and perch it on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a wide straw and a long spoon.
Pro Tip: To get that professional “drip” look, ensure your caramel sauce is at room temperature. If it’s too cold, it won’t flow; too hot, and it will melt your shake instantly!
