Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (softened slightly)
- 1 cup whole milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 6–8 **Homemade Reeses Cups** (roughly chopped)
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt (to amp up the flavor)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Extra chopped cups or **Reese’s Pieces Cookies** pieces (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Cups: If you haven’t made your **Diy Reeses Cups**, chill them in the freezer for 10 minutes. Cold cups break cleaner in the blender.
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a blender, add the softened ice cream, milk, peanut butter, and vanilla. Sprinkle in that pinch of sea salt.
- Blend to Smooth: Pulse on medium speed until the mixture turns creamy. Avoid over-blending to keep that dreamy texture.
- Add the Cups: Toss in the chopped **Home Made Reese Cups** and blend for just 2–3 quick pulses. You want chunks, not dust.
- Check Consistency: If the shake seems too thick, add a splash of milk. Too thin? Drop in another tablespoon of ice cream.
- Pour & Garnish: Pour the milkshake into tall glasses. Top with whipped cream, extra cup pieces, and a sprinkle of **Reese’s Pieces Cookies** bits.
- Enjoy Immediately: Grab a thick straw or a spoon—this shake demands both!
Variations
Want to switch things up? Here are a few twists to keep your taste buds on their toes:
- Salted Caramel Drizzle: Add 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce in step 3 and drizzle more on top.
- Banana Boost: Toss in half a frozen banana for a fruity note and natural sweetness.
- Protein Reeses Cups Edition: Swap regular ice cream for vanilla protein ice cream and use chopped **Protein Reeses Cups**.
Serving & Tips
Serve your milkshake in chilled glasses to keep it frosty longer. If you want to prep ahead, freeze the glassware for 15 minutes.
Store any leftover shake in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours—though I won’t judge if you polish it off in one go! For a cozy seasonal vibe, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or add a peppermint stick around the holidays.
FYI, cleaning your blender right away prevents sticky peanut butter residue. A quick rinse with warm water and a drop of dish soap works like a charm.
Final Thoughts
This **Reeses Cup Milkshake** brings back every sweet memory I have—trading candy bars at recess, late-night dessert runs, and the first time I tasted **Reeces Peanut Butter Cup Ideas** in a gourmet shop. It feels like a warm hug in a glass, and IMO, it’s one of the simplest ways to turn a snack into an experience.
Next time you crave a twist on your **Reeses Dessert** lineup, skip the drive-thru and blend your own masterpiece. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you (and your Instagram feed will look amazing, too!
