Ingredients

1 ½ cups vanilla ice cream about 3-4 large ice cream scoops
½ cup milk
½ cup fresh or frozen strawberries
¼ cup cream cheese room temp for easy blending
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon strawberry jam for extra flavor optional
2-3 graham crackers

For topping:

whipped cream
fresh strawberries
graham crackers whole and crumbs

Instructions

Blend ice cream, milk, strawberries, cream cheese, vanilla, graham crackers, and jam (if using) until smooth.
Pour into glasses, top with whipped cream and crushed graham crackers. You can even rim the glasses with graham cracker crumbs for a pretty look.
Serve with a cute straw and enjoy immediately!

Notes

Use premium vanilla ice cream for a creamier, richer texture. If it’s too hard to scoop, let it sit at room temp for 5–10 minutes.
Fresh strawberries give a brighter, more natural flavor, but frozen strawberries make the shake colder and thicker. If using frozen, you might need a splash more milk to blend.
Instead of cream cheese, you can use mascarpone for a lighter, sweeter twist, or Greek yogurt for a tangier, slightly healthier version.
Don’t skip the graham crackers or strawberry jam, they’re key to making the milkshake actually taste like strawberry cheesecake.
