Method

Preparing the Strawberry Topping

  1. 1

    Wash and Slice Strawberries

    Rinse the fresh strawberries under cold water, then remove the green tops. Cut them into halves or quarters depending on your preference.

  2. 2

    Make Strawberry Mixture

    In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat the strawberries evenly. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to allow the sugar to draw out the juices from the strawberries.

Preparing the Cheesecake

  1. 3

    Cream the Cheese

    In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Sugar and Vanilla

    Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, mixing on low speed until combined.

  3. 5

    Whip the Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 6

    Fold Together

    Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Making the Milkshake

  1. 7

    Blend the Milkshake

    In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream and milk. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Pour the milkshake into glasses and top with the prepared strawberry mixture. You can also add a dollop of the cheesecake mixture on top for extra flavor.
