Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (10 ounces / 280 grams) whole frozen strawberries
- 6 ounces (170 grams) fresh raspberries
- 1 cup good vanilla ice cream, such as Häagen-Dazs
Dairy Components:
- 1½ cups (12 fluid ounces / 360 milliliters) whole milk
- 7 ounces (200 grams) 5% plain Greek yogurt, such as Fage
Additional Flavor Enhancers:
- ½ cup good strawberry preserves, such as Tiptree
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) raspberry liqueur (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the base mixture by combining frozen strawberries and milk in a powerful blender, processing on high speed until thoroughly combined and smooth. If the blender capacity is limited, consider dividing the preparation into two separate batches.
- Introduce additional creamy and fruity elements by adding vanilla ice cream, yogurt, fresh raspberries, strawberry preserves, and optional raspberry liqueur into the blender.
- Blend the entire mixture on high speed for approximately 45-60 seconds, ensuring all ingredients are fully integrated and create a velvety, uniform consistency.
- Select chilled serving glasses and carefully pour the vibrant, luscious smoothie mixture into each glass, filling them approximately three-quarters full.
- Enhance the visual appeal and flavor profile by delicately garnishing the surface of each smoothie with a few pristine, fresh raspberries strategically placed on top.
- Serve the smoothie immediately to preserve its optimal temperature, texture, and flavor intensity. Recommend consuming within 5-10 minutes of preparation for the most refreshing experience.
Notes
- Frozen strawberries create a thick, velvety texture that transforms this milkshake from ordinary to extraordinary.
- Premium vanilla ice cream like Häagen-Dazs delivers rich, creamy decadence that elevates the entire drink.
- Small blenders require careful blending in stages to prevent messy overflows and guarantee silky smoothness.
- Strawberry preserves inject an intense fruity sweetness that perfectly complements the milkshake’s core flavors.
- Honey or additional preserves can rescue a milkshake that needs a touch more sweetness, balancing the overall taste profile.
