Strawberry Milkshake
This Strawberry Milkshake was something I made on a whim as a fun afternoon treat for me and my munchkin. Oh, my word. I forgot how delicious, fun, easy, fabulous, and amazing milkshakes were. My life has been forever changed. I’m thinking this is going to become a regular thing.
My milkshake could bring all the boys to your yard….
Main Ingredients Needed
5 simple ingredients come together to create this amazing recipe. Here’s what you need to make Strawberry Milkshakes:
- Milk – this of course is the base of this milkshake!
- Vanilla Ice Cream – this adds sweetness and creaminess.
- Strawberries – the other half of this milkshake is strawberries of course. You could sub these out for a different kind of berry if you want.
- Cream Cheese – tangy and creamy! Just an extra ingredient to really push this drink to the next level.
- Whipped Cream – and whipped cream to finish the whole thing off. Buy store-bought or make homemade whipped cream.
How to Make a Strawberry Milkshake
For full details on how to make a Strawberry Milkshake, see the recipe card down below 🙂
1. Add Ingredients to Blender
Start off with some milk in your blender and add in strawberries and cream cheese.
Now comes the good stuff. Scoop in some vanilla bean ice cream into the blender too. Don’t go easy on this stuff.
2. Blend Until Smooth
Add the lid and blend until smooth! I don’t know about you but I could stick my face into this and slurp the day away.
3. Assemble
But I guess I should pour it into some cute glasses and add a foot and a half of cream. You guys….twisting my arm…..Add some fresh strawberries as garnish and that’s it! Perfection right here. I liked my strawberry milkshake on the thick side, so I used a spoon, but feel free to add more milk and use a straw.

Oh, these milkshakes are calling my name! Love the idea of adding cream cheese!
ahhh this looks SO good. I love strawberry frappes and shakes… never thought to add cream cheese!
Great summer treat!
I love your story and also love that out of your experience came a delicious milkshake treat. If you through some chunks of cake in there or graham cracker, I’d probably have this every single night for dessert. Never thought to put cream cheese in a milkshake and by golly I think it’s brilliant!
i’m glad you ended up liking strawberries because they’re sooo good! i will have a yard soon…so i’ll be perched there waiting for the boys..wait, what?
Heck yes! I would totally drink this for breakfast. There’s fruit in it!! Plus TGIF and all that. 😉
Look. At. That.
My husband would pass out and die. I should not show him this.
How come I’ve never heard of this idea before? Genius…
This looks delicious! I definitely don’t drink enough milkshakes 🙂
Oh that look so good and refereshing! “But then I got married. And knocked up” Have a great weekend! (Hey check out our PInterest Contest!)
I am soooo going to make this! Sounds aMAZing!!!!
I’ve been wanting to make strawberry shakes at home with my new BlendTec. I’ll have to give this a try.
So jealous you have a blendtec!!
OMG! I literally just made a strawberry cheesecake milkshake! Great minds think alike! What i can’t get over is how you used to not like fruit. I seriously can get my mind around that!
Holy yum! This looks like it would go down so smooth… Delicious, decadent dessert of a drink! That’s a lot of d’s…
This really does look like absolute perfection! I might just have this post-workout as a little treat 🙂
It’s so hard being a mom some days! I can relate to your story, 100%. I had to be extremely careful with what I ate, too.
This milkshake looks incredible!
I love a milkshake so thick you need to use a spoon…forget the straw!
Brilliant! I will definitely be making this over the weekend!
What kind of blender do you have? Do you like it? I shy away from anything that needs to be blended as mine never seems to do a great job!
I use a black & decker blender. Seems to do the job just fine!
If only I had a yard!
I don’t often have milkshakes because there doesn’t seem to be a natural time of day to eat them (I think maybe I’m just weird) but this looks super-yummy!
Sweet goodness, this is my heaven!
I lovvvvvvvvve strawberry milkshakes! So glad you eventually came around to the strawberry-love too. These look great!
Love this!! Can’t wait for fresh strawberries to make these!
When I was pregnant milkshakes were my thing and it never went away. I never even thought of combining milk shake with cheesecake….yummy!
I love the idea of adding cream cheese for the cheesecake flavor!!
This sounds delicious and that mound of whipped cream is just calling my name!
I would have slurped this up as a child or adult. I don’t think I was crazy about strawberries as a kid, but I did like that strawberry-flavored liquid antibiotic. Who didn’t? This looks infinitely better, and I fully endorse the mountain of whipped cream!
My husband would love me forever if I made these, thanks for the idea! I see milkshakes being a regular summer treat around here now!
I only seem to like strawberries in pureed/smoothie/milkshake/daquiri form… Hmm…
This sounds fabulous! I love cheesecake, but have never had it in milkshake form 🙂
I must make this for my kids. They would be in heaven
I’ve been in love with strawberries for as long as I can remember, so I’m thinking I’d love this! Heck, with all this hot weather we’ve been having I could use a nice milkshake. Yum! 😀
Oh what I would do for one of these milkshakes right now. Delicious!
My favorite milkshake is a strawberry cheesecake milkshake. Could eat these all day long!
Adding the cream cheese is genius! I love this 🙂 And your fruit aversion totally cracks me up. I did the same thing with vegetables growing up, and now that I’m older and married (but no kid yet!) have finally come around to love them.
Even though it’s only 9am, I’m pretty sure I neeeed this today! 🙂
Woah this looks SO deliciously fruity and creamy! The perfect summer treat! I’m glad pinterest led me to your blog! 😉
The one fruit my daughter will *always* eat are strawberries. I’m betting I’d get quite a few I love yous if I made some of these up!
How could you hate strawberries!? Ahhh well anyway this looks awesome.
It is so yummy But tastes even yummier if I’ll try it. It is perfect for the hot weather!

I made a blueberry version of this milkshake for a cooking challenge. It was such a great milkshake – I definitely want to try it with strawberries! Thank you for sharing it 🙂

Nice recipe Lauren!
For those who want a lower-fat alternative I do something very similar, but I omit the ice cream and substitute buttermilk for the normal milk in the shake. I know it sounds gross, but it is amazing and low fat/calories compared to cream cheese!

It was great! Had them with grilled ham and cheese. A diner meal at home!
You have no idea how good that sounds to me. Perfect timing too. Just bought some awesome strawberries.
i think this looks really good and i am going to try it one day with my grannie because we both like baking and cooking together
Lauren;
Hi,i just copied down your strawberry cheesecake milkshake recipe,it looks so good and tastey that i am going to make this milkshake at the end of this month after i buy the ingredients to make it in my blender.unfortunately i have a magic bullet blender for one person and i was wondering how i can make it to fit in my blender.
I am also lactose intolerant so i have to use natrel 2% milk and natrel vanilla ice cream and i am fine and ok with the strawberries,cream cheese and the spray cream.
