Instructions

  1. Set Up

    Gather and measure every ingredient, then set out a blender, measuring cup, spoon, spatula, small bowl, and 2 chilled glasses. · 2 min

    What to look for: All ingredients are measured and chilled before blending.

  2. Crush Graham

    Crush the graham cracker into fine crumbs and reserve a spoonful for the top so the smoothie keeps a cheesecake crust finish. · 1 min

    What to look for: The crumbs look sandy with a few slightly larger bits.

  3. Load Blender

    Add milk, yogurt, cream cheese, strawberries, honey, vanilla extract, ice, and most of the graham crumbs to the blender jar. · 2 min

    What to look for: The liquid sits near the blades and the fruit is evenly layered above it.

  4. Blend Smooth

    Blend on high until thick, pink, and creamy, stopping once to scrape any cream cheese from the side back toward the blades. · 2 min

    What to look for: The smoothie is pale pink, glossy, and free of white streaks.

  5. Check Texture

    Taste and blend briefly again if the texture looks uneven, folding any pale streaks back into the smoothie with the spatula first. · 1 min

    What to look for: The mixture falls from a spoon in a thick ribbon.

  6. Serve Cold

    Pour into 2 chilled glasses, sprinkle with the reserved graham crumbs, and serve at once while cold, creamy, and lightly frothy. · 1 min

    What to look for: Each glass has a creamy pink smoothie with a light graham crumb top.

Ingredient substitutions

Strawberry

  • Frozen strawberry: Use straight from the freezer for a thicker smoothie.

Yogurt

  • Cream cheese: Use less because it is richer and thicker than yogurt.

Cream cheese

  • Yogurt: The smoothie will taste tangier and less like classic cheesecake.

Graham cracker

  • Graham crumb: Use the same weight of prepared crumbs.

Milk

  • Water: The smoothie will be less creamy and less dessert like.

Honey

  • Maple syrup: Adds a deeper caramel note instead of floral sweetness.
