Print Recipe

This creamy pink strawberry milk blends fresh strawberries with cold, creamy milk for a nostalgic, velvety treat. It’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, birthday parties, or any occasion that calls for a sweet, fruity drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (or frozen, thawed)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or honey/maple syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
  • 2 cups whole milk (or almond, oat, or coconut milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4–6 large strawberries, sliced thick and trimmed into heart shapes (for garnish)
  • Mini marshmallows (optional, for garnish)
  • Sprinkles (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 1 cup hulled and sliced strawberries into a blender or food processor. Add sugar, water, and lemon juice if using. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
  2. Optional: Pour the puree through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or pitcher, pressing with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
  3. Pour 2 cups cold whole milk into the pitcher with strawberry puree. Add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until fully combined and evenly pink.
  4. Refrigerate the strawberry milk for at least 30 minutes so flavors meld and it’s ice cold. Alternatively, serve over ice.
  5. Slice 4-6 large strawberries into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter or paring knife to trim slices into heart shapes for garnish.
  6. Pour the chilled strawberry milk into glasses or jars. Top each with a heart-shaped strawberry, mini marshmallows, and sprinkles if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe, fragrant strawberries for best flavor. Adjust sweetness to taste. For vegan, use plant-based milk and coconut cream. Chill well before serving for optimal flavor. If milk separates, stir before serving. Garnishes can be prepped ahead but add just before serving.
