Notes
For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and fresh coffee. Soften cream cheese before blending for a smooth texture. Customize with dairy-free or sugar-free options, and chill your glass for an extra frosty drink. The cheesecake-milk mixture can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
