๐ The Ultimate Strawberry Cheesecake Freakshake
๐ Ingredients
For the Milkshake Base:
3 large scoops Premium vanilla or strawberry ice cream
1/2 cup Fresh strawberries (hulled)
1/4 cup Whole milk (adjust for desired thickness)
1 tbsp Cream cheese (softened, for ๊ทธ cheesecake tang)
For the Assembly & Toppings:
Strawberry syrup: For the “drip” effect
Whipped cream: Heavy and stable
Graham crackers: Crushed into crumbs
Fresh strawberries: Whole and sliced
1 slice Classic New York Style Cheesecake (the star topping!)
๐ฉโ๐ณ Preparation Steps
Prep the Glass: Drizzle strawberry syrup along the inside walls of a large glass or mason jar. Let it drip down naturally. For an extra touch, smear a little frosting or honey around the outer rim and press crushed graham crackers into it.
Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the ice cream, fresh strawberries, milk, and softened cream cheese. Blend until smooth but still very thick.
The Pour: Carefully pour the milkshake into the prepared glass, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
The “Freak” Toppings:
Pipe a generous mountain of whipped cream on top.
Carefully rest a slice of cheesecake on the rim/whipped cream.
Nestle whole strawberries into the cream.
Generously sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over everything.
Final Flourish: Add one last drizzle of strawberry syrup over the cheesecake and whipped cream.
๐ก Pro-Tips for Success
Chill your glass: Put the glass in the freezer for 15 minutes before starting. This keeps the shake thick and helps the syrup “sticks” to the sides better.
The Support System: If the cheesecake slice feels heavy, you can insert a thick straw or a wooden skewer through the shake to help anchor the cake slice in place.
Note: This is a very rich treat, so it’s perfect for sharing with a friend!
