Description

What could possibly be better than a strawberry milkshake? A strawberry cheesecake milkshake! The cream cheese, which has a tang of its own that's enhanced by the lemon zest, helps make this milkshake as thick as, well, concrete (the very apt Missouri term for a milkshake). If the idea of frozen strawberries hits you as totally counter to your locavore sensibilities, know that they are another secret to a milkshake thick enough to eat with a spoon, and if you grow your own or buy them at the farmers' market, we urge you to freeze them for this shake. You'll find the directions in the Cooks' Notes at the end of the recipe.

Ingredients

3 cups vanilla ice cream
6 ounces cream cheese
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 pound frozen strawberries (not in syrup)

Directions

  1. In two batches if necessary, blend together ice cream, cream cheese, milk, vanilla, lemon zest, and strawberries in a blender until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
