- Ready In:
- 1hr 5mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
2 Pint Glasses
- Serves:
- 2-4
ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb fresh strawberries, plus more to garnish
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3⁄4 - 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon powdered milk (or malted milk)
- 1 pint quality strawberry ice cream (No artificial flavors or dyes)
- whipped cream
directions
- Hull the strawberries and slice them. Place the strawberries in a bowl. Sprinkle the sugar over them and stir in the vanilla. Put the strawberries in the freezer for about an hour.
- Place two pint glasses (or four smaller glasses) in the freezer to chill.
- When the strawberries have frozen solid, pull them out and put them in the blender with 3/4 cup milk. Be sure to include the juices in the bowl.
- Blend until the strawberries are pulverized thoroughly and no chunks remain.
- Add the powdered or malted milk and blend. NOTE: I prefer powdered myself. It adds depth to the texture and gives it extra creaminess. In addition, you can also add 2 tbsp of whipped cream as well. Optional depending on how creamy you like it.
- Remove the jar from the blender and add the ice cream. NOTE: Do not be cheap buying the ice cream. No artificial flavors or dyes. Like the saying goes, "You get what you pay for.".
- With a spoon, stir in the milk and strawberries. Place the jar on the blender. Blend thoroughly. If it doesn't blend well or sticks, carefully add up to 1/4 cup of milk. Stir and/or shake if necessary.
- Remove chilled glasses from the freezer.
- Pour into the chilled glasses. Top with whipped cream and garnish with strawberries.
- Serve immediately.

I'm a single Dad of 3 kids. I've been a bachelor for 15 years. I took an interest in cooking at an early age. My Mom is a fantastic cook. Before I was ever allowed to cook a meal on her stove, she taught me the importance of spices. After high school, I split time as a ranch hand and cook for a renowned area restaurant. I went to chili cook offs with the owner and over the years I also served as a judge for a few. I have always enjoyed grilling and smoking more than anything else I cook. I have created many of my own recipes. And adapted others to my personal tastes. I have cooked for a lot of people over the years. And although I never entered a contest myself, many people who have not only entered but won big contests have tried my food. And I have often been asked why I don't enter. The answer is simple. My reward is the look of satisfaction on people's faces when they enjoy what they are eating. I don't need a trophy to enjoy the art of cooking. I just want to serve a good meal to good people who appreciate it.
