Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshake

Here’s how to make an outrageously good chocolate peanut butter milkshake at home with just a few simple ingredients.

I’ve written here many times before that I think chocolate and peanut butter are just about the perfect pair, and today I have a particularly good peanut butter and chocolate pairing for you, a chocolate peanut butter milkshake.

This shake is so creamy and dreamy. If you tried the peanut butter milkshake I posted a few weeks ago and loved it, you absolutely have to try this chocolate version.

Adding chocolate to an already incredibly good shake takes things to a whole new level because truly, isn’t everything better with chocolate?

Ingredient Notes

• Fudge sauce or chocolate syrup: I like to use my favorite homemade fudge sauce in this recipe, but any store-bought chocolate sauce/syrup will work well.
• Milk: Any percentage or type of milk will work here. The higher fat milk you use, the richer/creamier your shake will be.

Substitution note: If you don’t have any chocolate sauce on hand, you can also use 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder for a slightly less rich and sweet shake.

How to Make a Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshake

1. In a blender, combine ice cream, milk, chocolate syrup, and peanut butter. Blend until well-combined and pourable.
2. Pour into a glass, top with whipped cream and other toppings if desired, and enjoy.

Toppings

This shake is so good that it doesn’t need any toppings, but if you’d like to use them, I recommend:

• Whipped Cream
• Peanut Butter Sauce
• More Fudge Sauce
• Chopped Peanut Butter Candy

FAQ

Can I use natural/chunky peanut butter in this shake?

Yes. While I prefer to use a creamy, processed brand of peanut butter like classic Jif or Skippy because that will give you the smoothest shake possible, you can use natural or chunky peanut butter if that’s what you have on hand.

You can also use any sort of nut butter, not just peanut butter.

Can I make a healthier version of this milkshake?

If you’re looking for a lighter version of a chocolate peanut butter milkshake, go make my No-Ice-Cream Banana Milkshake and make the chocolate/PB variation described in the recipe.
