Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Serves: 2 people

Country of Origin: USA

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh strawberries (washed and hulled)
• 1 cup vanilla ice cream (or strawberry ice cream for extra flavor)
• 1/2 cup milk (use dairy or plant-based milk as per preference)
• 1 tbsp sugar or honey (optional, depending on sweetness of strawberries)
• Whipped cream (for topping, optional)
• Fresh strawberries (for garnish, optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Nisha: "Alright, Priya, let’s start by preparing our fresh strawberries. You want them ripe and sweet—nothing beats fresh strawberries in a milkshake!"

Priya: "I agree, Nisha. The fresher, the better! Let's remove the stems and cut them in halves so they blend smoothly."

1. Prepare the Strawberries: "Wash and hull your strawberries. Slice them in halves so they blend easily." - Nisha

Priya: "Now that our strawberries are ready, let’s move on to the ice cream. I love using vanilla because it’s so creamy and complements the strawberries, but feel free to use strawberry ice cream for an even stronger berry flavor!"

2. Add the Ice Cream: "Scoop the vanilla ice cream into the blender—about 1 cup should do the trick!" - Nisha

Priya: "Next, we’re going to add the milk. You can use regular cow’s milk or go for almond, oat, or coconut milk if you’re looking for a dairy-free option."

3. Pour in the Milk: "Add the milk of your choice to the blender along with the ice cream and strawberries." - Nisha

Priya: "Time for a little sweetness! I usually add a tablespoon of sugar or honey, but this is optional depending on how sweet your strawberries are."

4. Sweeten (Optional): "Add sugar or honey to taste, if desired, to make the milkshake a little sweeter." - Nisha

Priya: "Now let’s blend everything together until it’s smooth and creamy. You want a thick consistency, but if it’s too thick, feel free to add a little more milk to loosen it up."

5. Blend the Milkshake: "Blend on high until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well-combined." - Nisha

Priya: "Once it’s ready, pour it into a large glass. I love serving it in tall, chilled glasses for that refreshing touch!"

6. Serve and Garnish: "Serve your milkshake topped with a swirl of whipped cream and a fresh strawberry for that perfect finishing touch!" - Nisha

Pro Tips for the Perfect Milkshake:

• Priya: "For a thicker milkshake, add extra scoops of ice cream or freeze your strawberries before blending!"
• Nisha: "If you prefer a dairy-free milkshake, substitute regular ice cream with a coconut or almond-based ice cream."
• Priya: "You can also add a little splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor."
• Nisha: "For a fun twist, add a handful of crushed ice to make it even colder and frothier!"

Optional Variations:

• Chocolate Strawberry Milkshake: "For a chocolaty twist, add a tablespoon of chocolate syrup or cocoa powder to the blend!" - Priya
• Vegan Version: "Use dairy-free ice cream and plant-based milk to make this milkshake vegan-friendly!" - Nisha
• Strawberry Banana Milkshake: "Add half a banana to the milkshake for extra creaminess and natural sweetness!" - Priya

Dietary Considerations:

• This recipe is vegetarian. To make it vegan, use plant-based ice cream and milk options.
• For a lower-calorie option, you can use reduced-fat or low-calorie ice cream and milk.
• For a sugar-free option, use a sugar substitute or skip the sweetener altogether if your strawberries are sweet enough!

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve this milkshake with a side of fresh fruit or a light snack for the perfect summer treat.
• Pair with a crunchy dessert like cookies or muffins to complement the creamy milkshake.
• For an indulgent treat, serve alongside chocolate cake or brownies for a decadent dessert duo.
