In a medium mixing bowl, add sliced strawberries, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine well. Set aside.
In a large blender, place strawberry mixture (including any natural strawberry juice or natural "syrup" that has formed in the bowl) and ice cream.
*Check consistency and thickness of milkshake. If it seems too thick, add the whole milk. If the consistency seems right and you like the flavor, you can leave out the milk.
Pour in tall glasses. Add whipped cream and a whole strawberry as garnish (optional). Serve immediately with a straw.
Notes
• NOTE: If you have time, allow the strawberry mixture in Step 1 to sit for up to an hour before moving on to Step 2. The longer you let the flavors infuse, the better the milkshakes taste!• We like our strawberries a little more tart. If needed, add an additional Tablespoon of sugar in Step 1 if you like a sweeter mixture.• MILKSHAKE GARNISH IDEAS:
