Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Remove the frozen strawberries from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to slightly soften.
- Add the frozen strawberries, vanilla ice cream, milk, and sugar to a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Blend the ingredients on high speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure even mixing.
- Continue blending until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no large chunks of strawberry remaining. This should take approximately 1-2 minutes.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
- Once blended, immediately pour the Frosty into two chilled glasses or serving containers.
- For an authentic Frosty texture, place the glasses in the freezer for 5 minutes to slightly firm up the mixture.
- Serve immediately with a spoon or thick straw, garnishing with a fresh strawberry slice if desired.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, use ripe, sweet strawberries. If possible, opt for organic strawberries to enhance the freshness of your Frosty.
- Adjust the Consistency: If you prefer a thicker Frosty, use less milk; for a thinner consistency, gradually add more milk until you achieve your desired texture.
- Chill Your Glasses: For an extra frosty experience, chill your serving glasses in the freezer for about 10 minutes before pouring in the mixture. This helps maintain the cool temperature of your treat.
- Experiment with Flavors: While this recipe is a classic, feel free to mix it up! Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a handful of other frozen fruits like bananas or blueberries for a unique twist.
- Perfect for Sharing: This recipe yields two servings, making it ideal for sharing. Consider doubling the ingredients if you're hosting a gathering or just want to keep the Frosty goodness all to yourself!
