# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It delivers every note of a cheesecake in under ten minutes with zero oven time
  • The cream cheese gives it an unmistakable richness that regular strawberry milkshakes just cannot match
02 -
  • Cold cream cheese will leave tiny lumps no matter how long you blend so take it out of the fridge early
  • Graham cracker crumbs vanish into the shake so if you want visible texture save some for the rim of the glass
03 -
  • Let the cream cheese sit on the counter for at least twenty minutes before you start anything else
  • Blend the cream cheese and milk alone for ten seconds first to create a smooth base before adding the rest
