Strawberry Squash - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 ounces strawberries (225 gm, fresh or frozen)
    3 tablespoons granulated sugar
    1/4 cup strawberry ice cream
    1 1/2 cups milk (See Note)
    1 lemon, juice and zest of, but zest & reserve same b4 juicing the lemon
    1 orange, juice of
    3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
    4 ice cubes (See Note)
Preparation
    Halve strawberries & place in a bowl. Sprinkle w/the sugar, stir to combine & leave for 30 min for juice to be extracted.
    Using a blender or immersion blender, puree strawberries & juice created.
    Add ice cream, milk, lemon & orange juice, lemon zest + confectioner's sugar & blend till well-mixed.
    Pour into 4 glasses & add 1 ice cube to each glass.
    NOTE: I entered this recipe as written, but dislike a watered effect from ice cubes. So I freeze the milk in a freezer container as my 1st prep step. Using very cold milk w/ice crystals that often form means no ice cubes are needed when prep is done & you are ready to serve.
    VARIATION: Replace strawberries w/canned or fresh pineapple & use vanilla ice cream.
