3 cups vanilla ice cream
1 cup cold whole milk
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Whipped cream and fresh strawberry slices for garnish

Notes
Use ripe strawberries for the sweetest and most flavorful milkshake.

Frozen strawberries can be used, but fresh berries give the brightest flavor.
Serve immediately for the best creamy texture.
A chilled glass makes this milkshake feel even more refreshing.
