Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshake

Take everything you love about a slice of strawberry cheesecake — the creamy filling, the sweet berry swirl, the buttery graham cracker crust — and blend it into the most luxurious milkshake you’ve ever tasted. This is not your average strawberry shake. This is a full cheesecake experience in a glass.

The cream cheese is the game-changer. Most strawberry milkshakes taste fine, but they’re missing that tangy richness that makes cheesecake so special. When you blend softened cream cheese right into the shake, it creates this incredibly silky, rich base that actually tastes like cheesecake. The fresh strawberries and graham cracker crumble on top finish the illusion — you’ll forget you’re drinking a milkshake and not eating dessert.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 3 cups vanilla ice cream
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled, plus extra for garnish
• 3 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons strawberry jam or preserves
• 4 graham cracker sheets, crushed
• 1/2 cup whipped cream
• Extra strawberry jam for drizzle

Method

 

1. Reserve 2 strawberries for garnish. Slice the remaining strawberries.
2. In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, sliced strawberries, softened cream cheese, milk, and strawberry jam.
3. Blend for 20-30 seconds until smooth and creamy. The cream cheese should be fully incorporated.
4. Swirl strawberry jam around the inside of two tall glasses using a spoon.
5. Pour the milkshake into the glasses.
6. Top with whipped cream.
7. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers generously over the whipped cream.
8. Garnish with a fresh strawberry on the rim of each glass.
9. Serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened (leave it out for 30 minutes) or you'll get lumps. Fresh strawberries give the best flavor, but frozen works too — just thaw them first and drain excess liquid. For an extra-thick shake, use frozen strawberries straight from the freezer. The graham cracker crumble on top gets a little soft after a minute, so serve and eat fast!
