FAQs

Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen raspberries work well. Thaw slightly and drain excess liquid before blending.

What kind of cheesecake should I use?

Any plain or vanilla-flavored cheesecake works best. Avoid heavily flavored varieties for balance.

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can blend the base in advance and store it in the fridge, but assemble with toppings just before serving.

What’s the best milk to use for a thick shake?

Whole milk provides the creamiest texture, but oat or almond milk are good dairy-free options.

How can I make the shake thicker?

Use less milk or add extra ice cream. You can also chill your glass before serving.

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of cheesecake?

Yes, Greek yogurt adds tang and creaminess for a lighter alternative.

Is this recipe suitable for children?

Absolutely—it’s sweet, fun, and alcohol-free.

How do I get a swirl effect on the glass?

Use a spoon or squeeze bottle to drizzle raspberry sauce inside the glass before pouring in the shake.

Can I substitute the graham cracker crumbs?

Yes, crushed cookies or digestive biscuits also work well as toppings.

How long can I keep leftovers?

Ideally, consume immediately. Leftovers lose texture and separation may occur after an hour.
