    It's simple, refreshing and delicious. The strawberries and ice cream come together to achieve the perfect flavour, thickness, creaminess and sweetness.

    If you wanted, you could add extra sugar or syrup, but I don't think it needs it at all. A touch of whipped cream on top could be really fun too!

    Here's what to do to make this simple ice cream strawberry milkshake recipe. And if you're in the mood for more milkshakes, try this incredible Oreo milkshake!

    Ingredients

    • 500 g (18 oz) fresh strawberries hulled (plus 4 to garnish)
    • 300 g (½ pint) vanilla ice cream

    Equipment

    • Weighing scales
    • Jug blender
    • Kitchen knife
    • Chopping board
    • 4 tall glasses
    • 4 straws

    Instructions

    Put the ice cream in a jug blender.

    Notes

    Drink immediately if possible. If you have any left, it will keep covered in the refrigerator for 24 hours, but it will of course melt and become more liquid.
