How This Recipe Comes Together

Ingredients:

Crushed graham cracker crumbs
Fresh strawberries
4 oz. cream cheese, softened to room temperature
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
5 Tbsp. powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 recipe of my Homemade Strawberry Sauce, chilled
4 cups (8 scoops) vanilla ice cream, softened
1/2 of a (6-inch) store-bought cheesecake, cut into pieces (strawberry swirl cheesecake recommended)
1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (optional)

Directions:

Begin by preparing one batch of my Homemade Strawberry Sauce. Make sure it chills completely. Though optional, it’s recommended for added strawberry flavor.
In a blender, add the softened ice cream, cheesecake pieces, and graham cracker crumbs. Blend until smooth. If desired, you may add 1/4 cup of the chilled strawberry sauce for extra sweetness.
Use a spoon to drizzle some of the strawberry sauce into your glass.
Pour the milkshake mixture into the prepared glasses. Top each serving with a dollop of cream cheese whipped cream, an extra drizzle of strawberry sauce, a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs, and a fresh strawberry. Serve and enjoy!
For the cream cheese whipped cream, take a medium stainless steel bowl and use a handheld mixer to whip the softened cream cheese on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy.
Next, add in the chilled cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Continue whipping on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Pipe the whipped cream onto the milkshakes.

How to Store Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshake

For best results, enjoy your Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshake soon after making it, as it is best when freshly blended. If you have leftovers, store them in a covered container in the freezer. However, keep in mind that the texture may change when refrozen. Stir well before serving if you do decide to freeze them.

Tips to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshake

Use ripe strawberries for the sweetest flavor.
Let your cheesecake sit out at room temperature for a few minutes to make it easier to cut into pieces.
If you want to reduce the sweetness, adjust the amount of powdered sugar in the whipped cream to your taste.

Variations

You can easily customize this milkshake. Try using different flavors of ice cream or cheesecake, like chocolate or caramel. Adding some crushed cookies can bring a new texture to the experience!

FAQs

Can I make this milkshake ahead of time? While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the components in advance. Blend it just before serving for the best texture and flavor.

What kind of cheesecake works best? Any store-bought cheesecake will work, but strawberry swirl or plain cheesecake complements the flavors beautifully. You can even experiment with flavored cheesecakes!

Can I skip the cream cheese in the whipped cream? Yes, you can make regular whipped cream by simply whipping the chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. It will still be delicious!
