Strawberry Swirled Cheesecake Ice Cream combines a rich and creamy cheesecake-flavored ice cream base with sweet, tangy strawberry sauce and a buttery graham cracker crust swirl, offering the delightful taste of strawberry cheesecake in every spoonful.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 4 graham cracker cookies
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens and the strawberries break down, forming a syrupy sauce. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Crush graham cracker cookies finely. Mix the crumbs with 1/2 tablespoon sugar and melted butter until evenly combined. Set aside for later incorporation.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup white sugar and continue to beat until well combined and creamy.
- Slowly mix in the heavy cream and whole milk into the cream cheese and sugar mixture until fully incorporated, resulting in a smooth ice cream base.
- Cover the ice cream base and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to ensure it is thoroughly chilled before churning.
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- In a suitable container, alternate layers of churned ice cream, strawberry sauce, and graham cracker crust. Use a spatula or knife to gently swirl the strawberry sauce and graham cracker crust through the ice cream without fully mixing them.
- Cover the container and freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to firm up and develop flavors.
- Scoop the strawberry swirled cheesecake ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy the rich, creamy, and fruity dessert.
