 How to Prepare the Recipe
 Step 1: Prepare the Strawberry Drizzle
-
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
-
Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the sauce thickens.
-
For a thicker consistency, dissolve the cornstarch in water and stir it in. Cook another 1–2 minutes until glossy.
-
Let it cool and set aside.
Pro Tip: You can blend the sauce for a smoother consistency or leave it chunky for texture.
 Step 2: Make the Cookie Crumble
-
Crush the biscuits or cookies into coarse crumbs (use a food processor or zip-top bag and rolling pin).
-
Mix with melted butter (and brown sugar, if using) until the texture resembles wet sand.
-
Set aside for garnish and rim decoration.
 Step 3: Decorate the Glasses
-
Take two large milkshake glasses or mason jars.
-
Use a spoon to drizzle the strawberry sauce inside the glasses for a decorative swirl.
-
Dip the rims of the glasses in strawberry jam or melted white chocolate, then coat with crushed cookies or sprinkles.
-
Chill the glasses in the freezer while making the milkshake.
 Step 4: Make the Cheesecake Milkshake
-
In a blender, combine vanilla ice cream, softened cream cheese, milk, strawberries, jam, and vanilla extract.
-
Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust milk for thinner consistency if desired.
-
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding extra jam or a drizzle of honey if needed.
 Step 5: Assemble the Freakshake
-
Remove glasses from the freezer.
-
Fill each glass about three-quarters full with the cheesecake milkshake.
-
Add a generous swirl of whipped cream on top.
-
Drizzle with strawberry sauce and sprinkle with cookie crumble.
-
Garnish with fresh strawberries, mini cheesecake cubes, or any over-the-top toppings you love.
