Ingredients

• 250 g ripe strawberries, hulled and quartered, plus 2 to garnish
• 1 tbsp caster sugar
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 250 ml cold milk
• 200 g vanilla ice cream (about 4 scoops)
• 2 tbsp whipped cream, to top (optional)

Method

1. Toss the strawberries with the sugar and vanilla and leave for 15 min, until they look glossy and sit in their own pink juice; this is where the big flavour comes from.
2. Tip the berries and juice into a blender with the milk and blend until completely smooth.
3. Add the ice cream and pulse just a few times until combined; over-blending melts it and makes the shake thin.
4. Pour into two chilled glasses, top with whipped cream and a strawberry and serve with straws.

Tips

• Frozen strawberries work too: skip the resting time and you will get an extra-thick shake.
• Strawberry ice cream instead of vanilla makes it even pinker and fruitier.
