Hacking the Starbucks secret menu can be tricky if one is unfamiliar with the items on the menu. One of my favorite secret menu Frappes is the Starbucks strawberry cheesecake Frappuccino and I’ll tell you all about it in this post.
I love strawberry everything and when I first heard of the strawberry cheesecake Frappuccino, I knew I had to try it out. My first guess was an ordinary strawberry and cheese combo, but I was pleasantly surprised to taste a hint of cinnamon and vanilla. This Frappe puts all our favorite ingredients in one cup. This is a customization of the Starbucks official strawberry crème Frappuccino.

The strawberry cheesecake frappe is yet to debut officially in other Starbucks markets.

Ways to Customize Strawberry Cheesecake Frappuccino at Starbucks- Starbucks Strawberry Cheesecake Frappuccino Variations
This drink can have an inclusion of hazelnut syrup. The nutty taste blends well with strawberry for a richer flavor. I also like to add an extra pump of vanilla as it makes it a little exotic and tastier. Ann addition to the strawberries puree does no harm. If you are a strawberry person, you can always add as much as you would like.
