Ingredient Overview

As always, full measurements are given in the ingredient list in the recipe card below.

Chocolate Ice Cream – Use any chocolate ice cream you like! You can even use a peanut butter chocolate ice cream if you want extra peanut butter flavor!
Milk – Use whole milk, 2%, or your favorite dairy-free milk.
Peanut Butter Cups – Use chopped pieces of your favorite chocolate peanut butter cup. I used trader joe’s, but any kind will work!
Peanut Butter – I used creamy peanut butter, but crunchy or natural peanut butter should work as well. This is the perfect way to use up that half empty jar of peanut butter in your pantry!
Vanilla extract – Add a dash of vanilla extract for extra flavor – and it helps enhance the chocolate!

Ingredient Substitutions:

Gluten-free – This recipe is gluten-free as is! Just be sure any peanut butter cups you use are gluten-free.
Dairy-free – Use your favorite dairy-free ice cream and milk to make this recipe dairy-free and vegan.
Other Nut Butters – Feel free to use almond butter, nutella, or another nut butter if you have a peanut allergy. You could also use something like sunbutter if you can’t have nuts at all.

Stir in some peanut butter cups, and serve the whole thing up with a dollop of whipped cream for milkshake perfection. This will become one of your favorite treats in no time!

Expert Success Tips:

Keep things cold – Don’t let your ice cream sit out before you blend it. I actually like to measure it first, then pop it back in the freezer while i add the milk and peanut butter to the blender.

Recipe Variations:

Vanilla Peanut Butter Shake – Swap sweet vanilla ice cream for chocolate ice cream if you’re not a chocolate lover.
Peanut Butter Shake – Use peanut butter ice cream instead of chocolate if you want an all peanut butter shake.
Nut-Free – If you need a nut-free option, try something like sun butter.
Chocolate Chips – Stir some chocolate chips into the shake if you prefer that to the peanut butter cups.
