Instructions:
Prepare Strawberry Sauce (Optional):
If you want a stronger strawberry flavor, make a batch of homemade strawberry sauce and let it chill completely.
Make the Cheesecake Milkshake:
Add softened vanilla ice cream, cheesecake pieces, and graham cracker crumbs to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. If desired, add ¼ cup of cooled strawberry sauce for more strawberry flavor.
Decorate the Glasses:
Using a spoon, drizzle strawberry sauce along the inside of your serving glasses. Pour the milkshake mixture into the decorated glasses.
Make the Cream Cheese Whipped Cream:
In a medium stainless steel bowl, use a handheld mixer to whip the softened cream cheese on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Add the chilled whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue to whip on medium-high speed until the cream holds stiff peaks.
Pipe or spoon the cream cheese whipped cream onto the top of the milkshakes.
Finish and Serve:
Top with a sprinkle of crushed graham cracker crumbs, a drizzle of strawberry sauce, and a fresh strawberry.
Serve immediately and enjoy this decadent treat!
