Creamy Peach Raspberry Milkshake

This creamy peach raspberry milkshake tastes like summer in a glass. The sweet peaches and tart raspberries create a perfect balance, while the vanilla ice cream makes it luxuriously smooth. I first made this for my niece’s pool party, and now it’s our go-to celebration drink—everyone licks their glasses clean!

What makes it special? Using fresh, ripe fruit amplifies the flavor, but frozen works just as well when peaches aren’t in season. A splash of milk adjusts the thickness, so you can customize it to be spoonable or sipable.
