The Cookout Cheesecake milkshake is the shake The Daily Meal calls underrated, ranking it fourth of 41 flavors, and the one Mashed puts third, with real Philadelphia cheesecake blended into the cup. It typically costs $3.99 in a 32.6 oz size, and it is also the shake that reviewers and students argue about most.
How is the Cheesecake shake made?
From an actual slice of cheesecake. The Daily Meal describes cheesecake blended into the shake with cherry, blueberry, caramel, chocolate chip or strawberry as the fruit or sauce options. A TikTok creator describes the order from the customer side: Cook Out sells slices of cheesecake that go into shakes with the topping you want, and the creator asked for plain cheesecake with strawberry and blueberry preserves and wafers. Wide Open Country's 2022 piece calls the strawberry version a whole slice of cheesecake with a mild tang that pairs with the strawberry bits.

Yes, as the plain version. It gets the strongest reviews of the cheesecake family and sidesteps the fruit lumps that sank the other flavors in the student rankings.
