Ingredients
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
3 cups vanilla ice cream
1 cup cold milk
2 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Whipped cream, strawberry slices, and vanilla bean specks for garnish
Instructions
1. Add the fresh strawberries to a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Add the vanilla ice cream, cold milk, honey, and vanilla bean paste.
3. Blend until thick, creamy, and fully combined.
4. Taste and adjust the honey if needed.
5. Pour into tall glasses.
6. Top with whipped cream, strawberry slices, and a few vanilla bean specks before serving immediately.
Notes
Vanilla bean paste gives this milkshake a more aromatic and speckled vanilla look than extract alone.
Use a light floral honey for the best balance with the strawberries.
Fresh strawberries create the brightest flavor, but frozen strawberries can be used for a colder shake.
Serve right away so the texture stays thick and creamy.
A drizzle of honey over the whipped cream makes the presentation even prettier.
