Delicious Strawberry Milkshake (Printable)

A creamy, refreshing blended drink bursting with the flavor of ripe strawberries, perfect for a sweet summer treat.

02 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

03 - 2 cups vanilla ice cream

04 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, or to taste

05 - Whipped cream

06 - Sliced strawberries

01 - Place the hulled strawberries, cold whole milk, vanilla ice cream, and granulated sugar into a blender.

02 - Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture achieves a smooth and creamy consistency, approximately 30 seconds.

04 - Divide the milkshake evenly between two chilled glasses. Top with whipped cream and fresh strawberry slices if desired, serving immediately.

01 -

This drink is practically a blank canvas that effortlessly transitions from a kid friendly afternoon treat to an adults only dessert with just a splash of liqueur.
Using whole milk and real vanilla ice cream creates an irresistibly rich texture that puts watery fast food shakes to shame.

02 -

Leaving the blender running for too long will actually heat up the motor and melt your ingredients, resulting in a runny drink.
Freezing your strawberries ahead of time completely eliminates the need for ice, which means your shake will never taste watered down.

03 -

A tiny splash of pure vanilla extract added at the very end tricks the palate into thinking the berries are sweeter than they actually are.
If your blender struggles with thick mixtures, start by blending the milk and strawberries first before adding the ice cream.
