Remove ice cream from the freezer about 5 minutes before making this recipe for it to soften slightly.
Put ingredients in the order listed in the container of a blender, breaking up the ice cream as you add it to the blender (for easier blending).
Blend, staring on low speed and increasing to high, for 15-20 seconds for a thick milkshake. Do not over blend or it will be runny.

Notes

Ingredient Notes/Substitutions

Whole milk. heavy cream or half and half are good substitutes for whole milk.
Strawberry ice cream. I suggest an organic variety for the best quality and flavor - or use homemade strawberry ice cream (so good).
Strawberry jam. Using strawberry jam intensifies the berry flavor naturally. You could also use strawberry sauce or syrup if you have it on hand.
Strawberries. fresh or frozen both work well.
Vanilla extract. Vanilla bean paste can be used in place of extract.

Store/Freeze

Store leftovers in the freezer for up to 1 week in a glass jar. Let it thaw enough to drink in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving leftovers.
