Ingredients
- 8 ounces strawberries (225 gm, fresh or frozen)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup ice cream (strawberry)
- 1 1/2 cups milk (See Note)
- 1 lemon, whole (juice & zest & reserve it b4 juicing the lemon)
- 1 orange, whole (juiced)
- 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 4 ice cubes (See Note)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Halve strawberries & place in a bowl. Sprinkle w/the sugar, stir to combine & leave for 30 min to sweeten the strawberries & extract their juice.
-
Step 2: Using a blender (or immersion blender) puree strawberries & juice created.
-
Step 3: Except for the ice cubes, add the remaining ingredients & blend until well-mixed. Pour into 4 glasses & add 1 ice cube to each glass.
-
Step 4: NOTE: I entered this recipe as written, but dislike the watered effect from ice cubes. So I freeze the milk in a freezer container (or ice cube tray) as my 1st prep step. Using very cold milk w/the ice crystals that often form means no ice cubes are needed when prep is done & you are ready to serve when blending is done.
-
Step 5: PINEAPPLE VARIATION: Replace strawberries w/canned or fresh pineapple & use vanilla ice cream.
