# Expert Hints:
01 -
- It genuinely tastes like someone liquefied an entire slice of cheesecake and handed you a spoon
- The whole thing comes together in about ten minutes with zero actual cooking
02 -
- Blending cream cheese that is straight from the fridge will leave tiny lumps no amount of spinning can fix
- Let the cream cheese sit on the counter for even ten minutes before you start and the whole process becomes effortless
03 -
- Chill your glasses in the freezer for ten minutes before pouring to keep the shake thick longer on warm days
- If you accidentally over blend and it gets too thin, stir in a spoonful of crushed graham crackers directly in the glass to add body back
