Strawberry Milkshake
Description
This recipe blends vanilla ice cream with fresh or frozen chopped strawberries, milk, and optional granulated sugar until smooth and pourable. Using frozen berries is fine but letting ice cream soften slightly helps achieve an even blend. Milk volume can be adjusted to modify thickness, with less milk yielding a richer shake and more for a lighter texture. Sugar enhances sweetness, balanced by the berries' tartness.
The milkshake is a cold, refreshing beverage with a creamy texture and bright strawberry notes. It can be served immediately and topped with whipped cream for added richness and visual appeal.
For best blending results, thaw frozen strawberries briefly before use. The recipe roughly provides two servings and allows adjusting sweetness to taste.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream about 3 scoops
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk any percentage
- 3/4 cup strawberry fresh or frozen is fine, chopped, hulled
- 1 granulated sugar optional but recommended, tablespoon, 13 grams
- Whipped Cream optional for topping
Instructions
- In a blender, combine ice cream, milk, strawberries, and sugar, and blend until well-combined and pourable.
- Pour into a glass, top with whipped cream, and enjoy.
Notes
- Allow frozen strawberries to thaw for 5–10 minutes to aid blending.
- Use ½ cup milk for thicker shakes and up to ¾ cup for a thinner consistency.
- Adjust or omit sugar depending on the ripeness and natural sweetness of the berries.
- Approximate nutritional info is based on two servings without whipped cream.
