Servings: 2 glasses
Calories: 864kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh peaches peeled and large chunks (roughly 6)
- 1 cup fresh peaches peeled and finely diced (roughly 3)
- Peach peels from the 9 peaches
- ⅓ cup peach nectar
- 8 scoops vanilla bean ice cream such as Breyer's or Blue Bunny
- pinch of turmeric
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 maraschino cherries with stems
Instructions
- Peel, pit, and chop the peaches. Measure out 2 cups of large chunks and 1 cup finely diced peaches.
- Put the peach peels in the blender and puree with a little peach nectar. You'll want 1½ cups of puree for two milkshakes or ⅔ cup of puree for one milkshake.
- Place the pureed peach peels, vanilla ice cream, peach nectar, and 2 cups of diced peaches in a blender and blend until thick and combined. If you have a less powerful blender, you'll want to divide the ingredients in half and make one milkshake, then repeat to make the second milkshake.
- Stir in the chopped peaches to add additional chunks.
- Whip the cream with a hand blender or a whisk, adding a touch of sugar or vanilla as desired. Spoon or pipe the whipped cream on top of the milkshake.
- Top the milkshake with a maraschino cherry with a stem and one or two red straws. Enjoy right away or place in the freezer for 20-30 minutes so it doesn't melt.
Notes
- Use ice cream with a strong vanilla bean flavor that is frozen hard and not melted.
- Add more ice cream or freeze it for 30 minutes to thicken the drink.
- After it's blended, stir in more chunks of diced peaches for the right texture.
- At the beginning, add pureed peelings blended with peach nectar.
- If using frozen or canned peaches, macerate the peaches by sprinkling with sugar, lemon juice and a pinch of salt and let stand 30 minutes on the counter.
