Ingredients 

  • 1 cup strawberry ice cream
  • ¼ cup milk (whole milk is best)
  • ½ cup roughly chopped fresh strawberries, additional for garnish
  • 3 to 4 fresh basil leaves, additional for garnish
  • Optional: whipped cream for topping, red food coloring (see note)

Instructions 

  • Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Add more ice cream or milk as needed to achieve desired consistency: more ice cream if it’s too thin, more milk if it’s too thick.
  • If desired, serve topped with whipped cream, fresh basil, and a fresh strawberry. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • I use a natural strawberry ice cream, so I did add a tiny amount of red food coloring to achieve the pretty pink color since the ice cream was quite white. If you buy a standard type of strawberry ice cream, it may be pretty pink already, especially since you’re adding fresh berries. If I wasn’t photographing this milkshake, I would have left the coloring out.
