- Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.

Simple Tips & Substitutions
Ice cream substitute. If you only have vanilla ice cream on hand, add a few frozen strawberries to keep the drink pink and flavorful.
Ice cream matters. A good-quality strawberry ice cream gives this frozen strawberry mudslide drink the best flavor and color. We like the results of using Häagen-Dazs ' strawberry ice cream the best.
No Strawberries & Cream Baileys? You can substitute original Baileys Irish Cream if needed.
Vodka swaps work. Plain or vanilla vodka can be used in place of whipped cream vodka, though the whipped cream flavor adds extra sweetness.
Strawberry Mudslide FAQs
Can I make a strawberry mudslide without alcohol?
Yes, you can make a non-alcoholic strawberry mudslide. Omit the alcohol and replace it with milk or cream for a non-alcoholic strawberry milkshake.
What’s the best ice cream for a Baileys strawberry mudslide?
Strawberry ice cream gives the best flavor and color. Choose a good-quality brand for the creamiest texture.
Can I use frozen strawberries instead of ice cream?
Yes, you can use frozen strawberries instead of strawberry ice cream, but the drink will be less creamy. If you want to substitute frozen strawberries, add two to three scoops of vanilla ice cream as well.
Can I double this recipe?
Yes. Double all ingredients and blend in batches if needed to avoid overfilling the blender.
Can I make a strawberry ice cream mudslide ahead of time?
We don't recommend making this strawberry mudslide ahead of time. Strawberry mudslides are best made and served immediately. Making them ahead of time causes the drink to melt and separate, which affects the texture and flavor.
Can I store leftover strawberry mudslide?
No. Strawberry mudslides don’t store well once blended. As they sit, the ice cream melts and the drink separates, resulting in a thin, watery texture.
What is the best blender speed for mudslide?
Start by turning the blender on low and gradually increase the speed as necessary, to reach a smooth consistency.
