Unleash the best flavor with this strawberry milkshake: a step-by-step guide to an easy-to-make and refreshing dessert. This recipe delivers a perfectly creamy, sweet-tart treat every time.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
- 1.5 cups vanilla bean ice cream (good quality)
- 1/2 cup whole milk (or 2% / non-dairy alternative)
- 1–2 tsp granulated sugar, honey, or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of lemon zest (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Strawberries: If using fresh, rinse, hull, and slice strawberries. If using frozen, ensure they are broken into smaller pieces if necessary.
- 2. Layer Ingredients: In a blender, pour in the milk first. Add the prepared strawberries, then scoop in the vanilla ice cream. If using, add optional sweetener, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
- 3. Blend to Perfection: Secure the lid and blend on low speed, gradually increasing to medium-high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no visible chunks. If too thick, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time.
- 4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the milkshake and adjust sweetness or strawberry flavor as desired. Blend briefly to incorporate any additions.
- 5. Serve Immediately: Pour into chilled glasses and serve immediately, garnished with whipped cream and a fresh strawberry if desired.
