This tasty strawberry treat is from THE BEST OF COOKING by Arne Kruger & Annette Wolter & it included a pineapple variation I have also noted. It was described as a "pre-dinner" drink, but works as an after school treat or dessert & might also be fun for a family of 4 to share ... as written for the kids for the 1st 2 portions & then adding 2 tbsp rum for the 2 adult portions. (Time does not include 30 min for the strawberries to "sit" in the sugar) Enjoy

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Halve strawberries & place in a bowl. Sprinkle w/the sugar, stir to combine & leave for 30 min for juice to be extracted.
  2. 2
    Using a blender or immersion blender, puree strawberries & juice created.
  3. 3
    Add ice cream, milk, lemon & orange juice, lemon zest + confectioner's sugar & blend till well-mixed.
  4. 4
    Pour into 4 glasses & add 1 ice cube to each glass.
  5. 5
    NOTE: I entered this recipe as written, but dislike a watered effect from ice cubes. So I freeze the milk in a freezer container as my 1st prep step. Using very cold milk w/ice crystals that often form means no ice cubes are needed when prep is done & you are ready to serve.
  6. 6
    VARIATION: Replace strawberries w/canned or fresh pineapple & use vanilla ice cream.

Oh my this was good. I used frozen sweetened strawberries, and skipped the maceration step. I also skipped the confectioner's sugar, as we found it just sweet enough with the ice cream. I love the citrus flavor that comes through with the strawberries. This is a very delicious drink. Made and Reviewed for Football Pool #17 as a recipextra - Congrats on your win! Thanks

    Twissis this is a wonderful refreshing drink!!! I cut back to serve one and didn't have time to freeze the milk nor get a picture before I had to get to an appointment in the morning. This was my quick morning breakfast using frozen strawberries, so I think that helped out with the milk not slightly frosted. I loved the combination of flavors from the strawberries with the lemon and orange. What a great treat made in your honor of your football pool win!!!

    ABSOLUTELY GREAT DRINK! As with others, I omitted the ice cubes & powdered sugar, then followed the recipe right on down! Really was a dessert, but I was willing to drink it anyway! Many thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Everyday Is a Holiday cooking game]

    DELICIOUS! I had fresh strawberries, which went into the freezer and so did the milk as suggested. Did not add in the 2nd batch of sugar (confectioner's) and left the ice cubes out as well. It was more like a slush really.. YUMMY! Another batch of milk and strawberries are already in the freezer for tomorrow!! Thank you, twissis, for sharing this wonderful recipe.
