Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup milk (whole milk preferred, 2% or almond milk works too)
- 1/2 cup strawberry pie filling (canned or homemade)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or melting chocolate (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate-Dipped Rim: Melt the chocolate chips over a double boiler or in 20-second bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until crumbly but holds together.
- Dip the Cup Rims: Dip the tops of serving cups into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Immediately dip the chocolate-coated rims into the graham cracker mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Set cups in the fridge to harden.
- Blend the Shake: In a blender, combine fresh strawberries, vanilla ice cream, milk, strawberry pie filling, and powdered sugar. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of milk if too thick and blend again.
- Pour and Serve: Remove cups from fridge and pour the shake inside, leaving room for whipped cream topping if desired.
- Add the Finishing Touch: Top each shake cup with whipped cream and garnish with a fresh strawberry slice or a drizzle of chocolate.
Notes
Serve immediately after pouring the shake to keep the graham cracker rim crisp. For a vegan version, use coconut or almond milk ice cream, plant-based milk, and dairy-free chocolate chips. To avoid watery shake, blend just until combined and soften ice cream slightly before blending.
