Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

[heart_this] · Jul 2, 2008 · 63 Comments

Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

You may have noticed, based on the number of posts, that I really like strawberries. I had been looking forward to strawberry season for a while and I built up a rather long list of things that I wanted to try. Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts and I had been thinking that a strawberry cheesecake ice cream would be good. The idea was pretty simple, a custard based ice cream with chunks of strawberries, cream cheese and graham cracker crust. Of course, if you happen to have a slice of cheesecake lying around you could just crumble it into the ice cream. For the crust I just made a simple graham cracker crust and crumbled it. I was a bit worried that the graham cracker crust crumbs would get crushed in the ice cream maker so I added them half way through the freezing process hoping that they would stick together better. The strawberry cheesecake ice cream turned out really well! You could taste and feel the difference in texture of the chunks of strawberries, cream cheese and the graham cracker crust.

    Your icecream looks delicious! I’ve never had homemade icecream before and am tempted to get an icecream maker, but there’s just way too much stuff in my house. I can’t wait to go strawberry picking, since the supermarket strawberries are nowhere as good and the market you go to is kind of far.. I live in Richmond Hill.

    This is great and will be perfect for my new ice cream attachment for my kitchenaid. Strawberries and cheesecake are great on a plate but to blend them together as ice cream is an extra bonus.
