Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine milk, peaches, orange juice concentrate, ice cubes, and schnapps in the container of an electric blender; top with the cover and process until smooth.
- Add yogurt and process just until blended. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using whole milk or adding a scoop of vanilla yogurt. If frozen peaches aren't available, fresh peaches can be used; just freeze them beforehand. Adjust the sweetness by adding a bit of honey or agave syrup if desired. This Fuzzy Navel Freeze is a refreshing twist on classic American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Fuzzy Navel Freeze immediately for the best texture. It pairs wonderfully with light snacks like Cinnamon Breakfast Bites or Corn Meal Muffin for a delightful brunch. Garnish with a slice of peach or a sprig of mint for an attractive presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 days. To rehydrate, let it thaw slightly at room temperature for about 10 minutes before blending again for a smooth consistency. Note that it may not be as thick after freezing, but it will still be delicious.
