Name: Strawberry Milkshake
Total time: 20 min
Ingredients: 12 ounces (2 cups) vanilla ice cream; 1 pound (454 grams/3 1/2 cups) frozen strawberries , thawed; 1/4 cup milk; Pinch salt

Why This Recipe Works

To get the texture and consistency we wanted for these milkshakes—smooth, rich, and sippable through a straw—we ditched the blender and pulled out the food processor. The heat and size of the processor blade breaks down the ice crystals both evenly and more efficiently. We used vanilla ice cream as the base and transformed it by adding thawed frozen strawberries. Using frozen strawberries ensures peak ripeness all year long while providing maximum strawberry flavor.

Our favorite vanilla ice cream is Ben & Jerry’s Vanilla.
