Strawberry Milkshake
This is the best strawberry milkshake recipe! It's beautifully pink, rich and frosty, and bursting with sweet-tart strawberry flavor!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup fresh strawberries
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
- 2 tbsp white sugar optional
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry the strawberries. Remove the top and cut the strawberries in halves.
- Place the halved strawberries in the blender jar and add ice cream, vanilla extract and milk to the strawberries.
- Blend for ten to twelve seconds until everything is mixed.
- Divide between two glasses and top with whipped cream and more fresh strawberries.
Notes
- Placing the glasses in the freezer will help the milkshake stay thick for longer.
- For creamy milkshake, make sure you use full fat ice cream and whole milk.
- For a thicker milkshake, add 1 cup of ice to the ingredients in the blender and replace more of the milk with heavy cream and add more ice cream..
- Make sure the ice cream is slightly soft, but not melted.
- If you like your milkshakes thinner, add more milk.
- If using frozen strawberries, allow your ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before using, until it just begins to melt. Otherwise, you might have trouble getting everything to blend.
- If you prefer a less-sweet shake or are using extremely ripe berries, you can omit the sugar, but I recommend using it since cold ingredients mute sweetness.
