- 2 tablespoons white chocolate sauce
- 2 tablespoons strawberry purée

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including ice, milk, vanilla bean ice cream, white chocolate sauce, and strawberry purée. This ensures smooth preparation.
- Blend the Base: Add ice, milk, vanilla bean ice cream, and white chocolate sauce into a blender. Blend on high until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, without any chunks.

- For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and non-dairy ice cream.
- Increase strawberry purée amount for a stronger strawberry flavor or swirl extra purée inside the glass before serving.
