Note from Ana

 

Hi there, fellow peanut butter and jelly lovers!

I have a special treat to share with you: the Peanut Butter Milkshake. But first, let me take you on a little journey back to my childhood in Croatia.

Growing up in Croatia, peanut butter was something we didn't have. It was an exotic treat that seemed to belong to a different world. That all changed when I was about 10 years old, and my Auntie M visited our cousins in New York. She returned with a jar of peanut butter and this crazy recipe for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I was instantly hooked! The combination of creamy peanut butter and sweet jelly was unlike anything I had ever tasted.

As the years went by, peanut butter found its way to Croatian shelves, though not the same brand from the USA. Nevertheless, I was having peanut butter and jelly sandwiches all the time. The love affair continued, and every year when my cousins visited us, I would eagerly ask them to bring me a jar of my favorite peanut butter.

Here is why I think you will love this recipe as much as I do:

  • Nostalgic Flavors: It brings back the classic taste of peanut butter and jelly, a beloved childhood favorite for many.
  • Quick and Easy: With just a few ingredients and a blender, this milkshake is ready in minutes, making it a perfect quick treat.
  • Customizable: You can adjust the thickness, choose your favorite jelly or jam, and even use non-dairy alternatives to suit your preferences.
  • Fun and Playful: The whimsical presentation and delightful taste make it a hit with both kids and adults, perfect for parties or family gatherings.
  • Indulgent Treat: The creamy blend of ice cream, peanut butter, and jelly creates an indulgent beverage that's perfect for satisfying a sweet craving.
  • Versatile Enjoyment: Whether as a dessert, snack, or unique breakfast option, this milkshake offers a versatile and tasty way to enjoy the timeless PB&J combination.

So, whether you're reliving cherished memories or exploring new flavor adventures, the Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake offers a delicious and joyful experience that's sure to please.

Pairing: For beverage pairings, consider serving this milkshake with a small cup of strong coffee or espresso to complement its sweetness. If you prefer a non-caffeinated option, a glass of cold milk or a mild herbal tea would also be a lovely accompaniment.

Dietary Information:

  • Allergen Notes: This milkshake contains dairy and peanuts, which are common allergens. Always check with guests for any food sensitivities or allergies.
  • Adaptations: For a dairy-free version, use plant-based ice cream and milk alternatives like almond, soy, or oat. There are also peanut butter substitutes available for those with nut allergies.

Make-Ahead Tips:

  • Prep Components: While milkshakes are best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the components in advance. Pre-scoop the ice cream and store it in the freezer, and measure out the peanut butter and jelly. This way, you can quickly blend everything together when ready to serve.
  • Garnish Prep: Prepare any garnishes like crushed peanuts or extra jelly in advance and store them in airtight containers. This allows for quick and easy assembly when serving the milkshakes.
