The Ultimate CFA Peach Shake Copycat
This recipe is carefully crafted to replicate the beloved flavor and creamy texture of Chick-fil-A's seasonal Peach Milkshake right in your own kitchen.
Equipment
- Blender
- Ice cream scoop
- Serving glass, chilled
Ingredients
- 3 generous scoops High-Quality Vanilla Bean Ice Cream about 1.5 - 2 cups, softened for 10-15 minutes
- 1 cup Frozen Peach Slices
- ¼ cup Whole Milk
- Optional: 1 tiny pinch of salt to enhance flavor
- For Garnish:Whipped Cream
- 1 Maraschino Cherry with stem
Instructions
- Prep Your Station: Place your serving glass in the freezer to chill. Let your ice cream sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes until it's soft enough to scoop easily but not melted.
- Combine in Blender: Pour the ¼ cup of whole milk into your blender. Add the cup of frozen peach slices. Finally, add your scoops of softened vanilla ice cream and the optional pinch of salt.
- Blend Quickly: Secure the blender lid. Start on a low speed, then immediately increase to a medium-high speed. Blend for just 30-60 seconds. Stop as soon as the mixture is smooth but still very thick. You should see little flecks of peach. Do not over-blend.
- Check Consistency: The shake should be very thick. If your blender is struggling, add one more tablespoon of milk and pulse once or twice to combine.
- Garnish and Serve: Pour the milkshake into your chilled glass. Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream and place the maraschino cherry on top. Serve immediately with a wide straw and a long spoon.
Notes
Quick Tips for Success
Soft Ice Cream is Key: This is the #1 tip for getting the right texture.
Frozen Peaches are a Must: They provide the coldness, thickness, and flavor all at once.
A Quick Blend is Best: Over-blending melts the ice cream and ruins the thick texture. Less is more.
