How To Make Ninja Creami Copycat Sonic Cheesecake Milkshake

Step Two: Gently fold in the crushed graham crackers, or use the “Mix-In” function for even distribution and added texture.

Step Three: Pour the milkshake into glasses and top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers, and extra cheesecake bits if you like. Serve right away and enjoy every rich, creamy, cheesecake-inspired sip!

Ninja Creami Copycat Sonic Cheesecake Milkshake Recipe Tips

• Use Full-Fat Ice Cream for Creaminess: For the richest, creamiest texture, opt for full-fat vanilla ice cream rather than low-fat or frozen yogurt.
• Add Extra Cheesecake Flavor: To enhance the cheesecake flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of salt.
• Don’t Overfill the Pint: When preparing the milkshake in the Ninja Creami, avoid overfilling the pint container.
• Customize with Mix-ins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins, like crushed graham crackers, strawberries, or chocolate chips. Use the “Mix-In” function on your Ninja Creami for even distribution.
• Adjust Consistency: If your milkshake is too thick, add a little more milk and process again. If it’s too thin, add a bit more ice cream and blend until the desired consistency is reached.
• Garnish for Extra Flair: Top your milkshake with whipped cream, crushed graham crackers, and a cherry to make it look as great as it tastes.

Storing

Store any leftover Ninja Creami Copycat Sonic Cheesecake Milkshake in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 days. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, then blend again for that smooth, creamy texture.

Ninja Creami Cheesecake Milkshake Recipe Faqs

What is cream cheese filling, and where can I find it? Cream cheese filling is a sweet, pre-mixed cheesecake filling available in most grocery stores, often near the refrigerated pie and dessert section. It adds a smooth, authentic cheesecake flavor.

Can I use homemade cheesecake filling instead? Yes, you can substitute store-bought cream cheese filling with homemade cheesecake filling if you prefer a more personal touch.

Why are crushed graham crackers included? Crushed graham crackers replicate the classic cheesecake crust, adding a crunchy texture and extra flavor.

Can I add fruit to this milkshake? Yes, fresh or frozen fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries would pair well with the cheesecake flavors.

What can I use as a substitute for whole milk? Any milk or milk alternative, such as almond milk or oat milk, will work, though whole milk will provide a creamier texture.

How do I make the milkshake thicker? Use less milk or more ice cream to achieve a thicker consistency. You can also freeze the milkshake for a few minutes before serving.

Can I make a lighter version of this milkshake? Yes! You can use low-fat ice cream, a lighter version of cream cheese filling, and a milk alternative to reduce the fat content.

What toppings work well with this milkshake? Whipped cream, extra graham crackers, chocolate syrup, or even fresh fruit make excellent toppings for a cheesecake milkshake.

What if I don’t have a Ninja Creami? A regular blender will work, but the Ninja Creami ensures a perfectly smooth and creamy consistency.

Can I use flavored ice cream instead of vanilla? Yes, feel free to experiment with different ice cream flavors like strawberry or chocolate to create your own cheesecake shake variations.
