Easy Homemade Strawberry Milkshake
Time for a strawberry milkshake! You only need three things: fresh strawberries, vanilla ice cream, and cold milk. In just a few minutes, you can make a drink that looks like it came from an ice cream shop and probably tastes even better because you made it yourself. You can serve it in a nice glass with a straw and a strawberry on the rim, or just drink it as is.
What you'll need
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1.5 cups cold milk
- Glass for serving
- Knife and cutting board
- Blender or immersion blender
- Straw
How it works
-
Take fresh strawberries and wash them thoroughly. Now cut off the green leaf from the top of each strawberry. Then chop them into small pieces. You need about a cup of strawberry pieces. Put the pieces into a mixing cup or blender.
-
Now it's time for the ice cream. Get a cup of vanilla ice cream. If you have an ice cream scoop, that works well. A large spoon will do too.
-
Measure out 1.5 cups of cold milk. Slowly pour the milk into the cup with the strawberries and ice cream. Now you have all the ingredients together.
-
Now you need an immersion blender or a blender. If you've never done this before, please ask an adult for help. It's important. Hold the cup tightly. Then press the button. It will be loud and everything will move. The strawberries, ice cream, and milk will turn into a pink milkshake.
-
If you still see small pieces, blend a little longer. Now your shake is ready. Carefully pour it into a glass. If you like, you can cut a strawberry halfway and stick it on the rim. Or put a colorful straw in it.
-
Sit down comfortably. You just made a strawberry milkshake all by yourself. Step by step. And now you can just do one thing: be proud of yourself and enjoy.
