It’s no secret that the Ninja Creami machine is an incredibly versatile appliance for making frozen treats.

The possibilities are endless! You can make sorbet, ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt, and more.

For a long time, those were the only types of desserts I made in my Creami. That is, until I started experimenting with the milkshake setting!

We love Ninja Creami milkshakes in our house, and I love how easy it is to whip them up, whenever the craving strikes.

Our latest concoction was this Ninja Creami peanut butter milkshake, which combines the rich, nutty flavor with a cool and creamy texture–basically perfection!

Ninja Creami Milkshake with Peanut Butter

One of the best things about the milkshake function of the Ninja Creami is that it uses ice cream that’s already been prepared, so you don’t have to wait for a base to freeze.

I used vanilla ice cream in this shake, but you could also use some Ninja Creami peanut butter ice cream, if you have it on hand.

Of course, you could also use store-bought ice cream, too.

You’ll mix up the ice cream with just a couple of ingredients, then use the Milkshake function to blend it up.

We love to serve this milkshake topped with whipped cream and chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups, but I think chopped Butterfinger bits or salted peanuts would be delicious, too!

Notes and Adaptations:

I used vanilla ice cream, but you can also use peanut butter ice cream or chocolate ice cream.
Feel free to change up the toppings! Chopped nuts or other candies would be tasty.
To make this dairy-free, ensure you’re using dairy-free ice cream and a non-dairy milk. Don’t forget to make sure your toppings (if using) are dairy-free, too!
