Ingredients

2 cups vanilla ice cream (4 to 5 scoops)
1/3 cup whole milk
1 cup halved fresh strawberries (or frozen, thawed), plus whole strawberries for garnish
2 cups cut up angel food cake (plus a couple slices for topping)
2 ounces amaretto liqueur
1 & 1/2 ounces Smirnoff Whipped Vodka or Cake vodka (see note below)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
whipped cream , for topping

Instructions

In a large blender, dump in the ice cream, milk, strawberries, angel food cake, amaretto, and vodka. Blend on high until incorporated and smooth.
Pour into 2 large milkshake glasses (or 4 small glasses.)
Top with a thin slice of angel food cake, pipe some fresh whipped cream on top. Garnish with a fresh strawberries.

Notes

Best liquor to use. You can use Smirnoff Whipped Vodka or Cake Vodka depending on what flavor you prefer. Typically, whipped vodka tastes just like whipped cream with an alcoholic flavor, while cake vodka has undertones of a spongy cake. Banana liqueur is another option, which almost makes the drink taste like a banana split!

Make it kid-friendly. Just omit the vodka and amaretto. I recommend adding an extra splash of milk to reach the desired consistency and some almond extract for the flavor.
