Description
A thick, creamy, and tangy milkshake that tastes exactly like New York cheesecake. This simple recipe uses just a few pantry staples to create an indulgent dessert in under five minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (150g) strawberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 ounces (55g) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature and cubed
- 1.5 cups (360g) vanilla ice cream, softened slightly
- 2–3 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or sugar (optional, to taste)
- Optional toppings: Cream cheese frosting, crushed graham cracker crumbs, extra strawberry slice
Instructions
- Cut the softened cream cheese into small cubes to ensure it blends smoothly.
- Add the cream cheese cubes, vanilla extract, and milk to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 30 seconds until completely smooth.
- Add the strawberries and vanilla ice cream to the blender. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds, stopping once to scrape down the sides, until the mixture is thick and smooth like soft-serve ice cream.
- Taste the shake and adjust sweetness with honey/sugar or thickness with more milk if needed.
- Pour immediately into tall glasses and serve with desired toppings.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps. Frozen strawberries make the shake thicker and colder; if using fresh, add ice cubes. Do not over-blend as it may melt the ice cream and thin the shake. For a ‘cheesecake’ flavor boost, add a pinch of lemon zest.
