Instructions

• Start by preparing and freezing the strawberries. Hull 8 ounces of strawberries and slice them thinly. In a medium bowl, mix them with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Toss the mixture together and then freeze for about 1 hour.
• While the strawberries are freezing, chill your glasses. Put 2 pint glasses or 4 smaller glasses in the freezer.
• Next, blend the strawberries and milk. In a blender, combine the frozen strawberries and all the syrupy juice from the bowl. Pour in 3/4 cup of whole milk and blend until the strawberries are smooth, without any large chunks.
• If you want to enhance the flavor, add the malted milk powder. Stir in 1 tablespoon of malted milk powder or powdered milk, if desired, and blend again. Keep in mind, this is optional but adds creaminess and richness.
• Now, add the ice cream. Remove the blender jar from its base and add 1 pint of strawberry ice cream. Gently mix it into the milk and strawberries by hand before blending everything thoroughly. If the mixture becomes too thick, you can add up to 1/4 cup more milk to help it blend smoothly.
• Finally, pour the milkshake into the chilled glasses and garnish with extra strawberries. Enjoy your delicious shake immediately!
