# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The perfect balance of creamy and fruity that takes just 5 minutes but feels like something from a vintage ice cream parlor.
  • You can make this with fresh or frozen strawberries depending on the season, and it still tastes like youve captured sunshine in a glass.
02 -
  • If your strawberries are particularly tart, macerating them with sugar for 10 minutes before blending will draw out their sweetness and improve the flavor dramatically.
  • Adding ice cubes makes the milkshake thinner rather than thicker, so skip them and use frozen strawberries or additional ice cream for a thicker consistency.
03 -
  • The order you add ingredients to the blender matters start with liquids on the bottom, then soft ingredients, with ice cream last to prevent it sticking to the blades.
  • If you want picture-perfect milkshakes, chill your serving glasses in the freezer while preparing the ingredients the cold glass prevents premature melting and keeps that thick consistency longer.
