Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups of fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 2 cups of vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • Whipped cream

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring Cups
  • Spoon or Straw
  • Glassware
  • Toppings

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: If you’re using fresh strawberries, wash them thoroughly. If frozen, you can skip this step. Remove the green tops and slice the strawberries in half for easier blending.
  2. Blend the Milkshake: Add the strawberries, vanilla ice cream, milk, and sugar (if using) into your blender. Blend on high until smooth. If your milkshake is too thick, add more milk to achieve your desired consistency.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Give it a quick taste. If you want it sweeter, add a little more sugar or a drizzle of honey. Blend again for a few seconds to mix.
  4. Serve: Pour the milkshake into your chilled glass. Top with whipped cream and garnish with extra strawberry slices for a beautiful finish.

Notes

Adjust Sweetness: Depending on the ripeness of your strawberries, you may not need to add sugar. Taste first, and then decide. Frozen Fruit Option: Frozen strawberries can replace ice cubes for a thicker milkshake. They also make the milkshake colder for a refreshing treat. For Dairy-Free Options: Use almond milk or coconut milk and non-dairy ice cream to create a vegan strawberry milkshake. Experiment with Flavors: For a twist, blend in some banana slices, blueberries, or even a spoonful of peanut butter for added richness.
