Delicious Strawberry Milkshake

Yields: 1 serving Prep time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 2 scoops (about 1 cup) vanilla ice cream (you can also use strawberry ice cream for an extra burst of flavor)
  • ½ cup milk (whole milk, 2%, or even a plant-based milk like oat or almond work well)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or honey (optional, adjust to your preference depending on the sweetness of your strawberries)
  • Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
  • Fresh strawberry, sliced, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the strawberries: If using fresh strawberries, wash and hull them. If they are large, you might want to roughly chop them. Frozen strawberries can be used directly.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a blender, add the strawberries, vanilla ice cream, and milk.
  3. Sweeten (optional): If your strawberries aren’t very sweet or if you prefer a sweeter milkshake, add the sugar or honey.
  4. Blend until smooth: Blend the ingredients until the milkshake is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender a couple of times to ensure everything is well incorporated.
  5. Adjust consistency: If the milkshake is too thick, add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, and blend again until you reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add a little more ice cream and blend briefly.
  6. Pour and garnish: Pour the milkshake into a tall glass. If desired, top with whipped cream and a slice of fresh strawberry.
  7. Serve immediately: Enjoy your delicious homemade strawberry milkshake right away!

Tips and Variations:

  • For a thicker milkshake, use more ice cream or fewer strawberries/milk.
  • For a thinner milkshake, use more milk or fewer strawberries/ice cream.
  • Add a few drops of vanilla extract for an enhanced flavor.
  • For a chocolatey twist, add a tablespoon of chocolate syrup or cocoa powder.
  • Get creative with toppings! Sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of strawberry sauce would be lovely.
  • If you’re using frozen strawberries, you might need to blend for a bit longer to get a smooth consistency.
