Shake Base

Method

Prep Strawberries

1

Macerate berries

Place the sliced fresh strawberries and granulated sugar in a small bowl. Stir to coat and let sit 5–10 minutes until berries release juices and become slightly syrupy. Stir in the lemon juice to brighten flavor.

Blend Shake

2

In a blender add the milk, heavy cream, vanilla ice cream, and the macerated strawberries with any accumulated juices. Secure lid and blend on medium-high for 20–30 seconds until smooth and slightly thickened. If mixture is too thick, add up to 2 tablespoons (30 ml) additional milk and pulse once more. If too thin, add 2 tablespoons extra ice cream and blend briefly.

3

Adjust sweetness and texture

Taste quickly and, if needed, add a little more sugar (up to 1 teaspoon) or a few drops more lemon juice to balance. Blend for 5 seconds to incorporate any additions.

Serve & Garnish

4

Pour the shake into a chilled 8–10 ounce mini glass, leaving a small gap at the top for garnish. Top with 2 tablespoons whipped cream, place the halved strawberry on the rim or on top of the whipped cream, and add the mint leaf if using. Serve immediately with a small straw.
