How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Recipe

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Swirl:
    • In a medium saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
    • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until strawberries break down and the mixture thickens (about 10 minutes).
    • Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Mixture:
    • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
    • Set aside.
  3. Create the Ice Cream Base:
    • In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
    • Gradually add the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
    • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let cool completely.
  4. Combine and Churn:
    • Mix the cooled ice cream base with the cheesecake mixture until well combined.
    • Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  5. Add the Strawberry Swirl:
    • Once the ice cream is churned, layer it in a container with the cooled strawberry mixture.
    • Gently swirl the strawberries into the ice cream using a knife or spoon.
    • Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
