# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- It tastes exactly like biting into a slice of cheesecake but takes ten minutes flat
- The cream cheese gives it a velvety body that regular milkshakes just cannot replicate
02 -
- Unsoftened cream cheese will ruin the texture no matter how powerful your blender is
- Blending graham cracker crumbs into the shake gives a faintly gritty crust effect that most people love but a few find surprising
03 -
- Scrape the blender with a rubber spatula between blends rather than adding more milk to thin out lumps
- A light bodied rose on the side turns this into a surprisingly elegant dessert pairing
