Our Strawberry Milkshake Delight pays homage to this timeless tradition, offering a modern twist on a beloved classic.

FAQ
Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?
Yes, absolutely! If fresh strawberries are in season, feel free to use them instead of frozen. Simply wash, hull, and slice the fresh strawberries before adding them to the blender. You may want to add a few ice cubes to the blender to achieve a frosty consistency.
Is there a dairy-free alternative to milk and ice cream?
Yes, you can make a dairy-free version of this milkshake by using almond milk or coconut milk as a substitute for dairy milk, and dairy-free vanilla ice cream. The result will be just as creamy and delicious, perfect for those with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies.
Can I add additional flavorings or mix-ins to the milkshake?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative and customize your milkshake with additional flavorings or mix-ins. Try adding a splash of chocolate syrup for a chocolate-covered strawberry flavor, or blend in a handful of fresh mint leaves for a refreshing twist.
Can I make this milkshake ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator?
While it’s best to enjoy this milkshake fresh for optimal flavor and texture, you can prepare it in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to a few hours before serving. Just be sure to give it a good stir or shake before serving to recombine any separated ingredients.
