250 ml of milk (semi-skimmed or almond milk)
10 fresh or frozen strawberries (approx. 200g), chopped
2 tsp liquid vanilla extract

Instructions
Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients including the vanilla ice cream, milk, strawberries, vanilla extract, and sugar or sweetener of choice.
Blend Milkshake: Place the vanilla ice cream scoops, cold milk, chopped strawberries, liquid vanilla, and sugar (if using) into a blender pitcher. Blend at high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no fruit chunks remaining at the bottom.
Serve: Pour the smooth strawberry milkshake evenly into two tall glasses.
Garnish and Enjoy: Top each milkshake with a generous swirl of whipped cream, decorate with a fresh strawberry, and serve with a straw for a perfect sipping experience.
Notes
Use almond milk for a dairy-free alternative.
Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar, maple syrup, or honey according to taste.
Frozen strawberries work well if fresh strawberries are not available.
For a thicker milkshake, use less milk or more ice cream.
Optionally add a few ice cubes before blending for an extra chilled shake.
