Strawberry
Cheesecake Smoothies
“The big
question now, though, was: Does it taste like a strawberry cheesecake? And,
fellow followers of the fabulous Cheesecake….YES, YES IT DOES.” KMont
Ingredients:
6 ounces (3/4
of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1½ cups milk
⅓ cup sugar,
divided
1½ teaspoons
vanilla
7 graham
crackers, divided
2 cups frozen
whole strawberries, slightly thawed
Preparation:
Blend cream
cheese, milk, 3 tablespoons sugar, vanilla and 6 crackers in blender until
smooth.
Pour all but
about ½ cup of the cream cheese mixture into liquid measuring cup.
Reserve for later
use.
Add
strawberries and remaining sugar to remaining cream cheese mixture in blender;
blend
until smooth.
Pour into 4
glasses.
Pour reserved
cream cheese mixture gently over strawberry mixture in glasses.
Crumble
remaining cracker; sprinkle over smoothies.
Serve
immediately.
Notes:
We were
confused if the recipe meant 7 full sheets of graham crackers as opposed to 7
individual, separated crackers, but we went with the full sheets. In doing so
we realized this
must have been the right way because you could taste just the
right amount of the crackers. The
other way you’d probably not be able to taste
them much at all, especially if your berries have a
strong flavor like ours
did.
There was
only enough of the strawberry mixture for 3 small 8-ounce smoothies, so you
might
need to double the recipe for more than three people or if they’ll be
wanting a bigger smoothie.
Make sure to
gently pour the cheesecake mixture on top of the strawberry mixture, or it will
just
blend right into the strawberry part. Holding the pitcher of cheesecake
mixture close to the
glass seemed to help.
