Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- Crushed graham crackers for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of cream cheese, 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup of whipped cream, and crushed graham crackers for garnish.
- In a mixing bowl, add the 1 cup of cream cheese. Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier blending.
- Pour in 1 cup of milk. This will help to create a smoother consistency in your milkshake.
- Add 1/4 cup of sugar to the mixture. Adjust the sugar to taste if you prefer a sweeter milkshake.
- Include 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of your cheesecake milkshake.
- Using an electric mixer or a whisk, blend the ingredients together until they are smooth and well combined. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the mixture is smooth, gently fold in 1/2 cup of whipped cream. This will add a light and airy texture to your milkshake.
- After folding in the whipped cream, taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or vanilla flavor if necessary.
- Pour the cheesecake milkshake into two tall glasses, filling them about three-quarters full.
- To garnish, sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top of each milkshake. You can also add additional whipped cream if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious cheesecake milkshake without ice cream!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature to guarantee a smooth, lump-free consistency.
- Sweetness Control: Start with the recommended sugar amount, but taste and adjust to your preference. Some cream cheeses are naturally sweeter than others.
- Blending Technique: Use an electric mixer for the smoothest result, but if you don't have one, a vigorous whisk can also work well.
- Garnish Creatively: While graham cracker crumbs are classic, try additional toppings like chocolate shavings, caramel drizzle, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Serve Immediately: This milkshake is best enjoyed fresh, right after preparation, to maintain its perfect creamy texture.
- Make it Fancy: For an extra touch, rim your glasses with crushed graham crackers before pouring the milkshake.
- Dietary Modifications: Use low-fat cream cheese and sugar substitute for a lighter version, or go dairy-free with alternative milk and cream cheese options.
