Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, followed by 2 cups vanilla ice cream.
Add 2 tablespoons cream cheese and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract to the blender.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20 to 30 seconds until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
Check consistency. If too thick, add 1 tablespoon milk at a time; if too thin, add 1/4 cup additional ice cream.
Pour milkshake into a chilled 16-ounce glass.
Top with 2 tablespoons whipped cream and sprinkle 1 tablespoon graham cracker crumbs on top.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and a long spoon.

Tips

Use full-fat cream cheese for richer flavor and texture. Chill your glass ahead of time to keep the milkshake colder longer.
