Instructions
Start by getting your ingredients ready. You’ll need 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 2 1/2 cups of peaches, and 1/2 cup of whole milk.
If using fresh peaches, peel them and remove the stones. For canned peaches, drain the syrup. Chop the peaches into small pieces so they blend easily.
Add the milk to your blender first. This helps the other ingredients mix better. Next, put in the ice cream and chopped peaches.
Pulse the blender a few times to break up the fruit. Then blend everything until it’s smooth. If the shake is too thick, add a little more milk.
Pour your peach milkshake into two glasses. Top each one with a swirl of whipped cream. Your homemade Chick-fil-A peach milkshake is ready to enjoy!
Remember, if you use frozen peaches, your shake might be thicker. Just add a splash more milk to get the right texture. Now grab a straw and sip your sweet, peachy treat!

Tips, Tricks & Storing
Keep your ice cream and milk in the fridge until you’re ready to blend. This helps make your milkshake extra cold and creamy.
You can use fresh, frozen, or canned peaches. Fresh peaches give the best flavor, but frozen ones make a thicker shake. If using canned, drain them well first.
Add milk slowly. Start with less than the recipe calls for, then add more as needed. This way, you can control how thick your milkshake turns out.
For a smoother texture, blend your peaches separately first. Then add the ice cream and milk and blend again.
Try different ice cream flavors. Vanilla works great, but peach or even strawberry can be yummy too.
If you have leftovers, store them in the freezer. When you want to enjoy it later, let it thaw a bit and give it a quick blend to bring back the smooth texture.
For a fun twist, add a splash of peach nectar or a drop of vanilla extract. These can boost the fruity or creamy flavors even more.
