Strawberry Milkshake Ingredients
- Milk: Whole milk thins the ice cream so that it turns smooth and creamy! For a thinner shake, add more, and for a thicker shake, add less.
- Ice Cream: Vanilla ice cream goes perfectly with strawberries! You can also use strawberry ice cream for even more strawberry flavor.
- Strawberries: Fresh, sliced strawberries bring the flavor! If your strawberries aren't very ripe and juicy, you can slice them, sprinkle them with granulated sugar, and place them in the refrigerator for an hour or two. Drain the excess juice before adding the strawberries to the blender.
- Toppings: Top the shakes with whipped cream, pink sprinkles, and maraschino cherries.
How To Make A Strawberry Shake
Put the milk into the blender first, followed by the sliced strawberries and vanilla ice cream.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Then, pour the shakes into two glasses and top them with whipped cream and sprinkles.
