Blender
Chilled glass

Ingredients

1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup frozen strawberries unsweetened
1-1/2 cups creamy vanilla ice cream
1/3 cup 2% milk
1 tablespoon strawberry jam

Instructions

Before diving in, make sure you have all your ingredients ready. This will save you time and keep chaos at bay.
If you’re using fresh strawberries instead of frozen, slice them and freeze beforehand to achieve a smooth texture when blended. However, frozen strawberries work beautifully too—no need for added work.
In a blender, combine the frozen strawberries, honey, vanilla extract, vanilla ice cream, milk, and strawberry jam. Don’t skip the jam; it’s the secret weapon for flavor that’ll make you nostalgic for that Shake Shack experience.
Now, simply blend everything until it reaches a creamy consistency. You want it thick, but not so much that your straw struggles to pull up that sweet treat.
This is the fun part! Taste the milkshake after blending. If you want it sweeter, feel free to add a touch more honey or jam. Blend for a few more seconds.
The shake is best enjoyed fresh. Pour it into a chilled glass for that restaurant vibe. Add whipped cream on top, if desired, and garnish with a slice of strawberry, because why not?

Notes

Frozen Strawberries Are Key: Always use frozen strawberries. They keep the shake thick and cold, just like at Shake Shack.
Chill Your Glass: Placing your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before serving keeps your milkshake colder longer.
Adjust Consistency: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If it’s too thin, add more ice cream to thicken it up.
Interesting Additions: Feel adventurous? Add a spoonful of Nutella or peanut butter to bring extra flavor dimensions.
Customize Your Flavor: Feel free to swap in other fruits, such as bananas or blueberries, for a twist on the original.
