Equipment

  • Blender
  • cutting board
  • oven

Ingredients

  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup sugar add an additional tsp of sugar
  • ½ inch slice strawberry shortcake or pound cake
  • 1 cup ice cream vanilla
  • 2 cups strawberries
  • ½ cup milk
  • 3 ounce vodka two shots
  • ½ cup whipping cream

Instructions

  • Make a simple syrup by dissolving a 1/2 cup of sugar in the water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and remove from heat to cool.
  • Combine the strawberries, ice cream, milk and vodka in a blender, and blend on high speed until smooth.
  • Chop the shortcake into breadcrumb-sized pieces. Toast in an even layer on a parchment lined baking sheet in a toaster oven or in a standard oven at 200º F for 3-4 minutes until golden and slightly dry.
  • Meanwhile, beat the whipping cream until it begins to thicken. Add the teaspoon of sugar, and then continue beating just until stiff peaks form.
  • Add a shortcake rim to your glasses by dipping the glasses into a 1/4 inch of simple syrup and immediately rolling the rims in the shortcake crumbles.
  • Fill the glasses with the strawberry milkshake and top with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with a strawberry slice.
