Crush graham crackers and coat the rim of the glass using a bit of melted white chocolate or honey as glue.

Step 3: Assemble the Shake

Pour the blended milkshake into the prepared glass.
Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream.
Garnish with fresh raspberries, crumbled cheesecake chunks, and a drizzle of raspberry sauce.
Sprinkle with white chocolate shavings and sprinkles for extra flair.
