Ingredients
There are only 5 basic ingredients in this 5-minute peach shake recipe. You need:
- Ripe peaches – pitted but with the skins left on
- Vanilla ice cream – store-bought or homemade
- Granulated sugar – or your preferred sugar alternative
- Vanilla extract – to get most delicious shake flavor
- Salt – helps to balance out the sweetness
Pro Tip: If the peaches are ripe, there is no need for milk in this recipe. However, if the peaches are firm, or if you are using frozen peaches, you may need to add ½ cup of milk and another tablespoon of sugar.
How to Make a Peach Milkshake in 5 Minutes
This no-cook, no-bake, NO-effort dessert is perfect for a hot summer afternoon or evening dessert. Follow these easy steps to blend up copycat Chik-Fil-A Peach Milkshakes in mere minutes:

Serving Suggestions
Enjoy as-is, or garnish the shakes with your preferred extra goodies. We suggest topping with whipped cream and maraschino cherries for a classic peach milkshake.
You can also top the Peach Milkshakes with a thin slice or small chunk of fresh peach, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, or white chocolate shavings for an extra sweet treat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Definitely! Use 2 cups of frozen peaches in place of the fresh peaches. If you leave the slices frozen they will make the shake extra thick, so you can defrost them first for a shake with “regular” thickness.
This recipe is super easy to make vegan-friendly! Simply swap the regular ice cream with your favorite brand of non-dairy ice cream or homemade Coconut Milk Ice Cream. Top with vegan whipped cream and a cherry for the full authentic shake experience.
The standard size of a peach shake at Chik Fil A is 16 oz and has about 550 calories (not including whipped cream and a cherry). This copycat recipe is for 12 oz servings and has just under 400 calories with no toppings. So you can enjoy a “healthier” treat at home with all that sweet summer flavor you love!
