Ingredients

1/2 pound fresh strawberries

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pint vanilla ice cream

1/2 cup milk

Small whole strawberries, garnish

Gather the ingredients. Cut the tops off the strawberries and slice them into a few pieces. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and vanilla extract and stir to combine well.

Set aside and allow to sit for at least 20 minutes and for up to 1 hour.

Place the strawberries with any juices, ice cream, and milk in a blender. Blend until smooth.

Pour into large glasses and, if desired, put a strawberry on the rim of each glass
