Introduction

This pear milkshake turns soft, honeyed pears into a smooth and gently sweet treat you can make in five minutes. It is delicate, creamy, and comforting.

I love using very ripe pears here because they blend into the silkiest texture. A tiny pinch of cinnamon makes the whole thing taste like a cool pear pie in a glass.

Tips for the Best Pear Milkshake
