Ingredients
Milkshake Base
- 1/2 cup milk, half-and-half, cream, or evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (heaping) frozen strawberries
Optional Ingredients
- 1 large egg (optional)
- 3 tablespoons malt powder (optional)
- Ice (optional, as needed for thickness)
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including milk, sugar, vanilla, frozen strawberries, and optional items like egg and malt powder. Make sure the strawberries are frozen to give the milkshake a thick texture.
- Blend Milkshake: Place the milk, sugar, vanilla, and frozen strawberries in a blender. If you wish to use the egg and malt powder, add them at this stage. Blend on high until the mixture is thick and smooth.
- Adjust Consistency: Check the thickness of your milkshake. If it is not thick enough for your preference, add some ice to the blender and blend again until the desired texture is achieved.
- Serve: Pour the milkshake into glasses. If desired, top with whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch. Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy strawberry milkshake without ice cream.
Notes
- Using frozen strawberries gives the milkshake its thick, creamy texture without needing ice cream.
- The large egg is optional and can be added for extra protein; ensure it is fresh and safe to consume raw.
- Malt powder adds a unique flavor and sweetness—feel free to omit if unavailable.
- If the shake is too thick after blending, you can add a splash more milk to thin it slightly.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and skip the egg and cream.
