What you will need
This recipe uses 5 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 cups frozen peach slices
- 0.33 cup fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup ice cubes
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prepare Peaches
Use frozen peach slices straight from the freezer for the best thick and creamy texture. Fresh peaches can be used but the drink will be thinner and less frosty without additional ice.
Step 2: Blend Smooth
Combine frozen peaches, fresh lime juice, heavy cream, honey, and ice in a blender. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until completely smooth and creamy with no peach chunks remaining.
Step 3: Taste and Serve
Taste the creamy peach limeade and adjust sweetness with additional honey or tartness with more lime juice as needed. Pour into glasses and garnish with a peach slice and lime wedge.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- heavy cream → coconut cream for a tropical dairy-free peach limeade version
- honey → agave nectar for a vegan-friendly sweetener in peach limeade
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using canned peaches in syrup makes the drink overly sweet and the syrup creates an unpleasant thin texture
- Not blending long enough leaves peach chunks that block straws and create an uneven drinking experience
