Why You’ll Love This Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshake

Imagine this: it’s a hot day, you’ve had a long week, and you’re standing in your kitchen eyeing the fridge. You could whip up something complicated, or you could reach for the ingredients of this creamy delight that takes only minutes to prepare. Trust me, once you blend these flavors together, it’ll feel like a mini-vacation in a glass. Plus, it’s a delightful way to sneak some fruits in without anyone noticing—perfect for those picky eaters at home!

Let’s get started by gathering what you need!

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create this dreamy milkshake:

• 2 cups of fresh strawberries (and a few extra for that Instagram-worthy garnish)
• 1 cup of vanilla ice cream (because life is too short for low-fat desserts!)
• ½ cup of cream cheese, softened (the secret to that cheesecake flavor)
• ½ cup of milk (dairy or your favorite plant-based alternative)
• ¼ cup of powdered sugar (for that touch of sweetness)
• Whipped cream (because, obviously)
• Graham cracker crumbs (for the classic cheesecake edge)

Steps to Deliciousness

1. Prep those Strawberries: Rinse your strawberries under cool water, and remove the stems. If you have the patience, slice a few for garnish; if not, they’ll blend all the same!

2. Blend It Up: In a blender, combine the strawberries, vanilla ice cream, softened cream cheese, milk, and powdered sugar. Blend until smooth. You want it creamy and thick, but if your blender’s struggling, add a splash more milk.

3. Graham Cracker Magic: Grab a serving glass and sprinkle some graham cracker crumbs at the bottom. This will give the milkshake that delicious cheesecake crust vibe.

4. Pour and Decorate: Pour the blended mixture into your glass, and don’t forget to leave some room for the whipped cream! Top it generously with whipped cream and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs. Maybe toss on a few fresh strawberries for a pop of color!

5. Sip & Enjoy: Grab a straw (or a spoon, no judgment here) and dive into your glorious creation.

Cooking Tips

• Add a Twist: For a fun variation, try adding a splash of strawberry syrup for extra sweetness or a dollop of yogurt for a tangy twist!
• Frozen Strawberries: If fresh strawberries aren’t available, frozen ones work just as well! Just remember to sip it faster as it might be a tad icier.
• Low-Cal Version: Looking to cut back? Swap the ice cream for Greek yogurt and reduce the sugar. It’s still delicious and way more virtuous!

FAQs

Can I substitute cream cheese in this recipe?
Absolutely! If you’re looking for a healthier alternative, try using Greek yogurt instead. It will still give you a delightful tang.

How can I store leftovers?
Honestly, leftovers tend to be a rarity with this recipe, but if you have any, store it in a sealed container in the fridge. Just give it a good stir before drinking again.

What if my milkshake is too thick?
Just add a little extra milk, blend it again, and voilà! Your creamy concoction will be back to a sippable state in no time!
