Strawberry Milkshake

The weather is warm and it’s shake season at our house!  Strawberry Shakes are one of my favorite treats!

INGREDIENTS

1/2 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced, plus whole strawberries, for garnish
2 heaping tablespoons sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup milk

DIRECTIONS

• In a mixing bowl combine the sliced strawberries, sugar and vanilla extract and stir to combine well. Set aside and allow to macerate for at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour.

• In a large mixer, place the strawberries, ice cream, and milk. Blend until smooth. Pour into ice cream parlor glasses and garnish the rim of each glass with whole strawberries. Serve immediately.
