❓ Q&A Section
Q1: Can I make this milkshake without ice cream?
Yes! Replace the ice cream with 1 cup of Greek yogurt and a few ice cubes. It will be lighter but still creamy.
Q2: What can I use instead of cream cheese?
You can use mascarpone cheese, ricotta, or even vanilla yogurt for a softer flavor.
Q3: How can I make it vegan?
Use dairy-free ice cream, almond or oat milk, and vegan whipped cream. Coconut cream cheese or cashew cream can replace regular cream cheese.
Q4: Can I prepare it in advance?
It’s best served fresh, but you can blend the base shake ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. Add whipped cream and toppings just before serving.
Q5: What other flavors work well with this recipe?
Blueberries, raspberries, or mango can replace strawberries. You can also add chocolate syrup for a strawberry-chocolate cheesecake milkshake twist.
