Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup Light Philadelphia cream cheese (or any other low-fat cream cheese)
- 1/3 cup skimmed milk
- 1 cup frozen cherries (thawed)
- 1-2 teaspoons sweetener (optional, depending on your taste preference)
- 1/2 a digestive biscuit (or graham cracker), crushed
Instructions
- Blend the base ingredients:
- Add the light cream cheese, skimmed milk, and thawed cherries into a blender.
- Blitz on high speed for about 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You’ll know it’s ready when you can no longer see any chunks of cherries or cream cheese.
- Sweeten to taste:
- Taste the smoothie and decide if you’d like it a little sweeter. If so, add 1-2 teaspoons of sweetener (such as stevia, honey, or a sugar substitute).
- Blend for another 10 seconds to ensure the sweetener is well mixed.
- Top it off:
- Pour the smoothie into a glass.
- Crumble the digestive biscuit (or graham cracker) and sprinkle it on top for that classic cheesecake crunch.
- Serve and enjoy!
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste and creamy texture.
Notes
- How to thaw frozen cherries: Simply leave the cherries out for about 20-30 minutes to thaw, or you can microwave them for a few seconds. Don’t worry if you have a little extra juice from the thawing process—this just adds to the flavor!
- Blender tips: If you don’t have a high-speed blender, make sure to blend the mixture long enough to achieve a smooth consistency. You can add a little extra milk if the mixture seems too thick.
- Sweetener alternatives: If you’re aiming for a healthier option, try using natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit extract. If you prefer a more traditional approach, a small spoon of honey works just fine.
