A smooth and velvety strawberry cheesecake milkshake with a buttery graham cracker crunch topping, perfect for a quick and indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped (frozen strawberries can be used)
  • 4 ounces (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups (480ml) vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk (or any dairy or plant-based milk)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 full sheets graham crackers, crushed into coarse crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, melted
  • Pinch of kosher salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush graham crackers into coarse crumbs using a rolling pin inside a sealed plastic bag or pulse briefly in a food processor.
  2. In a small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter and a pinch of kosher salt.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden and fragrant. Let cool completely to crisp up.
  4. In a blender, combine softened cream cheese, vanilla ice cream, milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and fresh strawberries.
  5. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency by adding more milk if too thick or more ice cream if too thin.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness with extra honey or syrup if needed.
  7. Pour milkshake into tall glasses, leaving room at the top.
  8. Sprinkle a generous amount of cooled graham cracker crunch over each milkshake.
  9. Optional: Garnish with a fresh strawberry on the rim or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

Softened cream cheese is key to avoid lumps. Adjust sweetness based on strawberry sweetness. Let graham cracker topping cool fully for best crunch. Chill glasses for an extra creamy texture. Freeze strawberries for a thicker shake. Store leftover graham cracker crunch separately to maintain crispness.
