# Insider Tips:
01 -
- It captures the bright taste of peak season strawberries in a form that feels like a dessert.
- The texture is incredibly velvety, thick enough to coat the spoon but easy enough for a straw.
02 -
- Over blending can actually melt the ice cream too much, turning your shake into thin strawberry milk, so watch the timer.
- Ice cubes are a double edged sword because they water down the flavor, so stick to frozen fruit if you need thickness.
03 -
- Taste your strawberries first, adjusting the sugar down if they are perfectly ripe.
- If the shake is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time to loosen it up.
