Here is the 1960 strawberry blonde recipe, which is a quick easy way to use some fresh strawberries.
A Strawberry Blonde Milkshake is a delightful and visually appealing beverage that combines the sweet and fruity flavors of fresh strawberries with the creamy richness of vanilla ice cream. The term “Strawberry Blonde” is often used to describe a light reddish-blond hair color, and in the context of this milkshake, it suggests a blend of the vibrant red hues of ripe strawberries and the creamy, pale tones of vanilla.
Imagine a smooth and luscious pink concoction, with the vibrant red specks of blended strawberries suspended in a creamy base. The aroma is a tempting medley of sweet strawberries and the comforting scent of vanilla. The taste is a harmonious fusion of the natural sweetness from the strawberries, the creamy undertones of vanilla ice cream, and the refreshing coolness from the milk.
When served, a Strawberry Blonde Milkshake is often garnished with whipped cream on top for an added layer of indulgence. The presentation might include a dusting of strawberry powder or a few fresh strawberry slices as a final touch, enhancing both the visual appeal and the overall flavor experience.

Cook’s note
- If working with frozen strawberries, use 2 cups of diced frozen strawberries and skip the crushed ice in a recipe. This will make it a little richer, a little colder, and denser.
- Whole milk works best, but other types work fine, as well
- For a thick and extra rich drink try half milk and half yogurt (or greek yogurt)
