- If desired, add crushed graham crackers into the mixture for an extra layer of texture, and blend until incorporated.
Step 2: Prepare the Glass

Step 3: Assemble the Freakshake
- Pour the milkshake mixture into the prepared glass, filling it to the top.
- Generously top with whipped cream, then layer with fresh strawberries, cheesecake slices, and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs. Get creative—stack on whatever treats you like!
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Add a maraschino cherry on top for the finishing touch. Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon, as this shake is as thick as it is delicious!
