Strawberry Milkshake
This classic Strawberry Milkshake is rich, sweet, and comes together in minutes with just four ingredients. Perfect for satisfying any sweet craving!
Servings: 1 milkshake
Cost: $4.41
Equipment
- Blender high-powered
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- 2 packed cups vanilla bean ice cream use a good-quality brand
- 3/4 to 1 cup whole milk
- Optional additions see note 1
- Toppings as desired see note 2
Instructions
- Chill a glass (see note 3). Wash and dry the strawberries. Remove the stems and slice the strawberries to get 1 and 1/2 cups.
- In a high-powered blender, combine the freshly cut strawberries, vanilla extract, vanilla ice cream, and milk (depending on desired thickness; 3/4 cup will be thicker). If desired, add in malt powder and sugar. Blend until smooth. Don’t over blend, as that will water down/thin out the milkshake.
- Pour the milkshake into a cold glass and top with whipped cream and any other toppings of your choice. I like adding crushed up freeze-dried strawberries on top of the whipped cream.
Notes
Note 1: Optional additions: 1–2 tablespoons powdered milk or malt powder, 1–2 tablespoons granulated sugar (if strawberries aren’t ripe enough).
Note 2: Optional toppings: a swirl of whipped topping and crushed up freeze-dried strawberries.
Note 3: Before starting the milkshake, put your glass in the freezer to get it cold!
Storage: Best enjoyed fresh; freeze leftovers and reblend with a splash of milk.
