5-Minute Homemade Strawberry Milkshake Recipe (Better Than Store-Bought!)

homemade_strawberry_milkshake

A thick, creamy, and irresistibly delicious strawberry milkshake made with fresh strawberries, premium vanilla ice cream, and just a few simple ingredients. This classic American treat comes together in just 5 minutes and tastes better than any ice cream shop version.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream (premium quality, full-fat)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream (for topping, optional)
  • Fresh strawberry slices (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  • Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them in half
  • Place your blender jar and serving glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes
  • Add ingredients to the blender in this order: strawberries, sugar, vanilla extract, milk, then ice cream on top
  • Blend on low speed for 10 seconds, then increase to medium-high and blend for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth
  • Check consistency and adjust with additional milk or ice cream as needed
  • Pour into chilled glasses immediately
  • Top with whipped cream and fresh strawberry slices if desired
  • Serve immediately with both a spoon and a straw

Notes

  • For a thicker milkshake, use frozen strawberries or reduce the milk to 1/4 cup
  • Premium full-fat ice cream creates the creamiest texture
  • Don’t over-blend or the shake will become thin and watery
  • Adjust sugar based on the natural sweetness of your strawberries
  • Best enjoyed immediately but can be frozen for up to 2 hours if needed
