2 tablespoons sugar or condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Strawberry Cheesecake Base

In a blender, combine vanilla ice cream, strawberries, cream cheese, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until thick, creamy, and completely smooth. Adjust milk depending on desired thickness.

2. Create the Crunch Layer

In a small bowl, mix crushed cookies, freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter until it forms a crumbly, slightly sticky texture. This will give your milkshake its signature “crunch cheesecake” effect.

3. Assemble the Milkshake

Drizzle strawberry syrup inside the glass. Pour in the milkshake mixture slowly. Top generously with whipped cream and sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping over it. Finish with extra drizzle for a café-style presentation.
