Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 cups fresh ripe strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • 2 packed cups vanilla bean ice cream
  • 3/4 to 1 cup whole milk
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons powdered milk or malt powder
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons white sugar (if strawberries aren't ripe enough)
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream and crushed freeze-dried strawberries

Instructions

  1. Chill a glass before starting.
  2. Wash and dry the strawberries, then remove the stems and slice them to get 1 and 1/2 cups.
  3. In a high-powered blender, combine the freshly cut strawberries, vanilla extract, vanilla bean ice cream, and 3/4 to 1 cup of milk. Add powdered milk or malt powder and white sugar if desired.
  4. Blend until smooth, being careful not to over blend to avoid thinning out the milkshake.
  5. Pour the milkshake into the chilled glass and top with whipped cream and crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
