# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It tastes exactly like slicing into a strawberry cheesecake but requires zero baking and under ten minutes
- The cream cheese creates a velvety richness that regular strawberry milkshakes simply cannot match
02 -
- Cold cream cheese will not blend properly and you will end up fishing out tiny rubbery chunks with a spoon
- Frozen strawberries actually make a thicker shake than fresh ones if that is what you are after
03 -
- Chill your glasses in the freezer for ten minutes before pouring to keep the shake cold longer
- Use a wide straw because graham cracker particles can clog a standard one pretty quickly
