A delightful fusion of cheesecake and ice cream, this Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream features a creamy base with fresh strawberries and graham cracker crust for a refreshing summer treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sugar (for strawberry sauce)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar (for ice cream base)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 package cream cheese (8 oz), softened
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Start by making the strawberry sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh chopped strawberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Set it aside to cool.
  2. Prepare the ice cream base: In another saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and 3/4 cup sugar. Heat over medium until sugar dissolves. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and gradually add warm cream. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook until thick, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Combine flavors: Remove the pan from heat, whisk in vanilla extract and softened cream cheese until smooth. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  4. Prepare the graham cracker crust: Combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and cinnamon in a bowl. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for around 8 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
  5. Churn the ice cream base: Once chilled, pour into an ice cream maker. Add cooled strawberry sauce and graham cracker crust during the last few minutes of churning. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Scoop out portions and serve on its own or topped with fresh strawberries or graham cracker crumbs.

Notes

Ensure to cool the sauce completely before mixing. Avoid skipping any steps for the best flavor integration.
