# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It comes together in literally five minutes with ingredients you probably have sitting in your fridge right now
- The texture is incredibly creamy and thick just like the ones from your favorite diner but better because you control everything
02 -
- Stop the blender to scrape down the sides otherwise you will end up with chunks of peanut butter that never get incorporated
- Chill your glasses in the freezer for at least 10 minutes beforehand because this keeps the shake thick and cold longer
03 -
- Let your ice cream sit on the counter for about 5 minutes before blending because it mixes much more easily than rock hard frozen stuff
- Warm your peanut butter in the microwave for 15 seconds so it incorporates smoothly instead of clumping up
