Strawberry Milkshake Recipe

A Strawberry Milkshake is a timeless treat loved by kids and adults alike. This easy recipe uses fresh strawberries, creamy vanilla ice cream, and milk to create a thick and luscious milkshake bursting with flavor. Perfect for hot summer days or whenever you crave a sweet indulgence, it’s a simple delight that can be whipped up in minutes!

Equipment:

• Blender
• Measuring cups
• Tall glasses
• Straw or spoon for serving

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 2 cups vanilla ice cream
• 1 cup milk (whole milk for a creamier texture)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
• Fresh strawberries, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Strawberries:
   • If using fresh strawberries, wash, hull, and slice them. For a more intense flavor, you can macerate the strawberries by sprinkling them with a little sugar and letting them sit for 10 minutes.
2. Blend the Ingredients:
   • Add the strawberries, vanilla ice cream, milk, and vanilla extract (if using) to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Adjust Consistency:
   • If the milkshake is too thick, add a little more milk and blend again. For a thicker shake, add extra ice cream.
4. Serve:
   • Pour the milkshake into tall glasses. Top with whipped cream and garnish with a fresh strawberry if desired.

Presentation Ideas:

• Serve with colorful straws for a fun touch.
• Drizzle strawberry syrup around the inside of the glass before pouring in the milkshake for a decorative swirl.
• Add a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers or sprinkles on top of the whipped cream.

Tips:

• Use frozen strawberries for a frostier milkshake and reduce the amount of ice cream slightly.
• Experiment with flavors by adding a tablespoon of strawberry jam for extra sweetness or a handful of other berries for a mixed berry shake.
• Vegan? Substitute the ice cream and milk with plant-based alternatives like coconut or almond milk.

This Strawberry Milkshake is a quick and satisfying dessert drink that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. Whip up a glass (or two!) and savor the creamy, fruity goodness with every sip. Perfect for sharing or enjoying all to yourself!
