Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups vanilla ice cream (about 3-4 large scoops)
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- ¼ cup cream cheese (room temperature for easy blending)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon strawberry jam (optional, for extra flavor)
- 2-3 graham crackers
Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Fresh strawberries
- Graham crackers (whole and crushed for garnish)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Place the vanilla ice cream, milk, strawberries, cream cheese, vanilla extract, graham crackers, and strawberry jam (if using) into a blender.
- Blend until smooth: Blend all ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the graham crackers are fully incorporated.
- Pour and garnish: Pour the milkshake into serving glasses. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the top. Optionally, rim the glasses with graham cracker crumbs for an attractive presentation.
- Serve immediately: Insert a straw and add fresh strawberries for garnish, then serve the milkshake immediately to enjoy at its best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure easy blending and a smooth texture.
- Strawberry jam is optional but enhances the strawberry flavor nicely.
- For a thicker shake, add more ice cream or reduce the milk slightly.
- Substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version, but note texture changes.
- Graham crackers add a subtle crunch and a hint of sweetness; crush them finely to blend smoothly.
- Serve immediately to prevent the milkshake from separating or melting.
