Strawberry milkshake
Instructions
Tips
A milkshake is only as good as the ice cream flavour. Use a premium quality ice cream with a soft and creamy custard to get the right consistency for the milkshake. Make certain the ice cream is not too firm when blending. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes until it is soft – but do not let it melt – before you blend it with the milk.
Tips
Do not go overboard with the blender! If you blend the milkshake for too long, the machine will get hot, and it will ruin the frosty and creamy texture of the milkshake. So, hold back on the power button and do not blend longer than necessary. Also, go easy with the milk; you do not want it to overshadow the ice cream flavour. By adding the milk slowly, you will have a better chance of getting the creamy and thick consistency right.

Make it with fresh or frozen strawberries
Our strawberry milkshake recipe uses fresh strawberries for a juicy and sweet flavour. However, you can also use frozen strawberries if they are not in season or if you prefer your milkshake to have a richer, ticker and frostier texture. Fresh strawberries are bursting with flavour and are easy to blend into a purée for the milkshake. Frozen strawberries can be a bit difficult to blend, so you may need to let them thaw just a little bit before blending. Add a bit of the vanilla ice cream to the frozen strawberries and let it melt for a few minutes before adding the sugar and blending it into a purée-like texture and pouring it into the vanilla milkshake. This way, you get to enjoy a strawberry milkshake all year round.
Use a good vanilla ice cream
A good vanilla ice cream is essential for a delicious creamy milkshake as it enriches the fruit flavour. The vanilla ice cream should have a smooth and soft texture with fruity and floral notes that melts pleasantly on your tongue. While you can use store-bought ice cream, it is actually not that difficult to make a flavourful homemade vanilla ice cream using only egg yolks, sugar, whipped cream and a vanilla pod. Using a delicious homemade or high-quality vanilla ice cream will give you the best strawberry milkshake.
Experiment with your strawberry milkshake
Shake up the classic milkshake by using different fruits for the purée. For a more exotic flavour, blend mangoes with the strawberries and add the purée to the vanilla ice cream milkshake. The mango-strawberry milkshake makes for a scrumptious tropical treat. You can also make a mixed berries purée by combining raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries. The mixed berry milkshake is as delicious as it is beautiful, with a nice almost purple colour.
For a decadent and indulgent sweet dessert treat, use a chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla, and add bananas to the strawberry purée. The mix of strawberry, banana, and chocolate is a classic, taking your strawberry milkshake to new heights, and it is even more delicious topped with whipped cream and a strawberry on the side of the glass. Enjoy!
