Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk adjust to taste
  • 1 cup heavy cream chilled
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup shaved ice prepared from ice machine or finely grated ice

Equipment

  • Shaved ice machine or fine grater
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Prepare the cheesecake layer by mixing softened cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and chilled heavy cream in a bowl until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. The mixture should be creamy and pourable but hold its shape slightly.
  2. Slice the fresh strawberries into thin pieces, about ¼ inch thick, and set aside. These will add juiciness and vibrant color, so layer them generously later.
  3. Shave the ice using a machine or grate it finely, aiming for fluffy, snow-like consistency that resembles soft snow. Spread the shredded ice evenly on serving bowls, creating a thick base layer.
  4. Drizzle a generous layer of the cheesecake mixture over the shaved ice, allowing it to slightly sink into the ice for a creamy edge and visual contrast.
  5. Add a handful of sliced strawberries evenly across the cheesecake layer, ensuring bursts of color and freshness appear in each bowl.
  6. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top to add some crunchy texture and to resemble a crust, completing the layered look.
  7. Repeat the layering process: add another layer of shaved ice, then spoon another layer of cheesecake, more strawberries, and a final sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs if desired.
  8. Finish with a few whole strawberries and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs on top for decoration and added texture.
  9. Serve immediately with a spoon, enjoying the soft, fluffy ice contrasted by creamy cheese and juicy strawberries in each bite.

Notes

For best results, shave the ice just before serving to keep its texture light and fluffy. You can also add a drizzle of honey or a sprig of mint for extra flavor.
