Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine vanilla ice cream, cut-up peaches, and cold orange juice in a blender.
- Blend until just mixed, leaving some lumps of unblended peaches if desired.
- Pour into tall glasses and garnish with strawberries.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, let the vanilla ice cream soften slightly before blending. If fresh peaches aren't in season, frozen or canned peaches can be used; just make sure to drain any excess liquid. You can also experiment with other fruits like mango or add a splash of peach schnapps for an adult version. For a lighter option, try using Greek yogurt instead of ice cream.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Fuzzy Navel Milkshake in tall glasses for a fun presentation. Garnish with fresh strawberries for a pop of color. It pairs beautifully with Little Cheesecakes for a delightful dessert spread or can be enjoyed as a refreshing afternoon treat on its own.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover milkshake in an airtight container in the freezer. To reheat, let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften before blending again to restore its creamy consistency. Avoid refreezing multiple times to maintain quality.
