# Expert tips:

01 -
  • It delivers all the indulgence of cheesecake without turning on your oven or waiting hours for it to set
  • The cream cheese gives it a tangy depth that regular strawberry milkshakes simply cannot match
02 -
  • Cold cream cheese will leave tiny stubborn lumps in your shake no matter how long you blend
  • Graham cracker crumbs dissolve slightly as the shake sits, so add the garnish ones at the very last second
03 -
  • Chill your glasses in the freezer for ten minutes before pouring to keep the shake thick longer
  • Use a wide straw so the graham cracker pieces can actually come through with each sip
