Peanut Punch For Two.
Posted on 26 January 2011
There’s been a number of requests for a peanut punch recipe, so I caved in today and finally got around to putting one together. My dad who’s one of my go-to people when I’ve never made something before, is wintering in the Caribbean so this recipe cost me a long distance call. And though his recipe calls for using custard, which I didn’t use… you’ll be amazed at how simple, quick and how delicious this drink is. Peanut punch is one of those drinks that we tend to associate with sexual prowess in the Caribbean and it’s said to be good “for the back”… thoughts?
This recipe will yield enough for two people or one greedy person 
You can always make more by doubling the recipe.
You’ll Need…
8-10 cubes of ice
2 tablespoon peanut butter (smooth or chunky – your choice)
1 cup milk (again your choice – I used 2%)
1 tablespoon condensed milk (Sweetened)
Note: Once you’ve made this basic or traditional peanut punch you can experiment a bit by adding some of these ingredients…
- dash vanilla essence
- ripe banana
- dash nutmeg
- honey
- granola
* If you don’t have condensed milk, you can add sugar or honey as your sweetener or a combination of both.
You’ll need a blender or as I did, a magic bullet. Start by placing the ice in first. This way the condense milk and peanut butter will go on top of it and not settle on the bottom where the blades will not reach.
After the ice I put in the peanut butter, followed by the condense milk and milk. Then blend for about 30-40 seconds until everything breaks down and is incorporated evenly.
You’ll have a delicious, very filling, creamy and frothy drink. Serve immediately to make use of that ice we crushed during blending. Above you’ll notice that I listed some additional ingredients you can use as you become a bit more experimental. I would suggest adding one or two to start and go from there. For a more filling peanut punch, you can add the ripe bananas and/or granola I mentioned above.
My favorite memory of peanut punch other than the tetra packs my mom would have in her parlor, was going to visit my god father on Saturdays at his “chinee” shop in Princess Town, where he had peanut punch in the sort of fountain that had all the freshly made drinks. His fruit punch was also deadly!

I love peanut punch,especially the Pine hill version. I hardly ever see condensed milk in NYC.
I think Mickey Mills of the Mickey Mills & Steels musical group makes the best Peanut Butter Punch I've ever tasted. I used to sing with the group so that's how I learned abou the punch. Happy Early New Year!!!
Check in the baking section at the supermarket or grocery shop where the cake ingredients are shelved…In the Caribbean we use Condensed Milk as ordinary milk but in Europe and North America it is mostly used in baking. So it's around especially where Latinos and Caribbean people populate. All the shops might not stock it but it is available here, especially at your local Jamaican shop. Remember Nestle's is an international company and condensed milk is one of it's most recognizable products. If you ask customer service, do not use the name "Condensed Milk" because that's not how they call it abroad. Ask for "Sweetened Milk" instead.
Thanks for the recipe. I agree Bajan Pine Hill peanut punch is yummy. They sell condensed milk in Pathmark in NYC.
For Janelle and Shernell:
I've never had any problems accessing condensed milk in NYC, ever! Where are you looking? Try the bigger supermarkets or those types like Trade Fair or C Town, for example.
Thanks so much for the help Janelle.
Leave out the condensed milk replace with heavy cream, use splenda or other artificial sweetener, cinnamon, and bananna
Splenda and other artificial sweeteners all contain "Aspartame" which is a very dangerous chemical that is man-made. It's known to cause brain tumors, cancers, weight gain and all the bad stuff that non one wants. Google it.
This is highly addictive. Good stuff Chris.
Sounds delicious. A friend of mine buys peanut porridge but I have been searching high and low for the recipe.
I added extra rich dairy Ice cream to mine, and cut out the condensed…………….Lovely…………
This was great, it's also my grandmother's way of making peanut punch when she used to make it for my dad. Hers was nuttier in taste and just a notch sweeter. I added another spoon of peanut butter (with nuts in it), along with a dash of both of the essence and nutmeg.
I always preferred this over PHD's version. Try it.
Try it with some oat meal and don't forget your dash of bitters and in NYC try any of the veg/fruit stores for the condensed milk, or the grocery stores, it's all over Brooklyn.
Want some!
It sais "sweetend" condensed milk which they sell in all supermarkets in the baking section there's no way you guys can't find it in NYC… that's like saying there are no yellow taxis in NY!!! My husband grew up on this stuff so I decided to make it for him and he said it was just like he remembered but it's better with a bit of Guiness stout for the grown folk! ;D
Hey Chris! that's what i make for my dinner yesterday it was delicious thanks for the recipe.
Put a little wheat germ on the top of that peanut punch when its all blended up, I use Krechtner a german brand I believe and its good.
It sounds absolutely delicious. I will definitely try it out .
Just tried, excellent recipe! I added a bit more peanut butter though.
Sounds cool. I have tired it and it is great but add the cinnamon and nutmeg. It will taste great
Yup, drank the whole thing alone, needs more peanut butter though, maybe 4 tbsp and I no longer have to ask mum to make it for me, Thank you tramedously for this website…I'm a cook! who knew?
This is amazing im drinking right now………FINISHED!!!!!
Haven't tried the recipe as yet however I will . Where in Princes Town did your Godfather have shop?
To be honest I'm not familiar with the area that much. It was within the city/town itself.. so if you're coming from San Fernando, pass the main center (junction) of the town and on the left side. A very popular 'chinee" shop. He later went on to build/own "Chicken Roost" in San Fernando, on the side of the library.
i was looking for the recipe with the raw peanuts for peanut punch
Hi Chris.Greetings. Thanks for the peanut recipe. We are in spring and with summer just around the corner, I think i will need a cool punch for the hot days. Guess I will give it a bit of extra punch with a shot of Mount Gay Rum or Jim Beam. What do you say ?? Thanks for the nice recipe, will try it soon. Cheers, keep up the good work.
Hi Chris Greetings Thanks for the peanut punch recipe I will like it
Hey Chris this recipe is the best!! I decided to try it out last night and it was a big hit–perfectly smooth and just the right amount of sweetness! Yum! Am definitely going to make this again…thanks for this!
So i made this again last night for my dad, who is a typical old-school, don't show his feelings type of fellow! Not prone to compliments at all lol…but he loved the peanut punch and was raving about it! He even asked for another one so I made it for him and watched him closely as he downed it in the same rapid succession as the first glass lol…i bet he would've had a 3rd glass if only i hadn't run out of peanut butter…but i can attest, Chris, this recipe is definitely a winner!! Thank you thank you!!
