Method
- Rinse the basil leaves lightly and pat them dry.
- Place all ingredients – basil, peanut butter flour, vanilla ice cream, and a splash of milk – into a blender.
- Blend on high speed until smooth and well combined.
- Taste and adjust consistency: if you prefer a thicker milkshake, add more ice cream; if you like it thinner, add a little more milk and blend again briefly.
- Pour into chilled glasses, if possible, to keep it cool.
- Garnish with a little extra peanut butter, a basil leaf, and a swirl of whipped cream, then serve immediately.
💡 Tips
- Chill the glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving for an extra-cold milkshake.
- For a vegan version, use a plant-based ice cream and milk.
- Adjust the amount of basil to your taste – start with less if you're unsure.
