Peanut Butter Milkshake + Ninja Creami Peanut Butter Milkshake

Jump to Recipe

Folks, I’ve got an easy recipe for you today. Yeap, this creamy, indulgent peanut butter milkshake is super easy to whip up with just a few pantry staple ingredients.

Even better is that it packs in some protein thanks to the creamy peanut butter. I love that it makes a year round great kid-friendly dessert or snack, but also a filling brunch or lunch treat for the whole family.

Like my Oreo milkshake, you can now skip the takeout and make your very own sweet treat at home. It is over the top indulgent for those hot summer days when nothing but a cool sweet, comforting, use your finger to scoop that last stubborn drop of the peanut butter shake at the bottom of the glass would do.

I love that I can easily and quickly whip up a Ninja Creami peanut butter milkshake in my Ninja Creami or do so in my high powered blender, depending on the mood and counter space on the day. And if you like this, you’ll definitely want to check out my Ninja Creami recipes too.

Why You’ll Love This

• Peanut butter lovers dream milkshake.
• Super easy to make.
• The whole family will love it, especially the kiddos…if you make enough to share with them! 😉
• Quantities are flexible so you can customize to your liking.

Ingredient Notes

• ice cream – you can choose whatever ice cream flavor you want. I prefer vanilla in this recipe. But pick whatever will make your belly happy.
• peanut butter cookies – choose your favorite peanut butter cookies, whether it’s a homemade recipe or a store-bought version.
• milk – for the creamiest results I tend to use whole milk. But feel free to try 2% milk or skim milk if you prefer. You can substitute in coconut, almond, or oat milk.
• peanut butter – pick your favorite peanut butter brand. I find creamy does it best, but if you want to give crunchy a try, it’s probably just as delicious. You may just need to use a spoon to enjoy your milkshake rather than a straw. P.S. If you got yourself a big tub of nut butter, then also try these peanut butter brownies.
• chopped peanuts – you can buy your own pre-chopped nuts or chop your own using a food processor. Extra nuts can be added to this Ninja Creami chocolate peanut butter ice cream.
• mini chocolate chips – you could even use some dark chocolate chips instead.

Soooo, let’s gather up these ingredients and I’ll show you just how easy it is to make this shake….

How To Make A Ninja Creami Peanut Butter Milkshake

Get complete ingredients list and instructions from the recipe card below.

1. Scoop the ice cream directly into your empty Ninja CREAMi pint container, and then use a spoon to make a 1 ½-inch well in the center of the ice cream.
2. Add the milk, peanut butter, and crushed cookies into the well and then close the lid.
3. Follow the instructions to place the tub in the machine and lock it into place.
4. Select full and then milkshake, then press the dial and let it process.
5. Once done, check if you want to add any mix-ins or if you need to reprocess.
6. Pour the Ninja Creami milkshake into cups and garnish with whipped cream, melted peanut butter, chopped peanuts, and mini chocolate chips. 

Recipe Tips

• The Ninja Creami version serves two.
• Chill serving glasses beforehand, which helps keep the milkshake chilled.
• Crush the cookies by adding them to a Ziploc bag and crushing them with a rolling pin (or in my case, an olive oil bottle). Feel free to save some of the bigger chunks for garnish.
• Feel free to serve with both big straws and spoons for scooping for preference.
• Allow the ice cream to come to room temperature for 10-15 minutes before scooping and blending if using a regular blender. 
• Add more ice cream or cookies for a thicker, stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth, eat-with-a-spoon kind of milkshake. It all works out to give you a little taste of heaven in every single mouthful. For a thinner shake add more milk.

Delicious Variations

• Trade out the whipping cream- try heavy whipping cream, cool whip, almond whipped cream, etc. Any of these substitutions would be great but they may change the consistency of your shake.
• Add in other sauces– to go along with your peanut butter, try some Nutella or chocolate sauce.
• Top it off– you can’t go wrong by adding sprinkles or other toppings like Peanut M&M’s or other chocolate candies.
• Vary the nut butter – other nut butters will work with this. Try some almond butter or cashew butter.
