# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- It delivers every single element of strawberry cheesecake without turning on your oven or waiting hours for it to set
- The cream cheese gives it an unmistakable tang that regular strawberry milkshakes can never fake
02 -
- Cold cream cheese will leave tiny lumps no matter how long you blend, so take it out of the fridge at least 20 minutes early
- Graham cracker crumbs thicken the shake over time, so drink it right away rather than letting it sit
03 -
- A tiny pinch of salt transforms the flavor by making the strawberry and vanilla pop in ways sugar alone cannot
- If you accidentally overblend and it gets too thin, stir in a spoonful of extra graham crumbs to thicken it back up
