Key Ingredients You’ll Need
Strawberries: To get that amazing strawberry flavor, you will want to use fresh strawberries.
Granulated Sugar: You can’t have sweets and delicious ice cream without sugar. Sugar will blend into the ice cream to make a sweeter flavor to the recipe.
Lemon:Using fresh lemon juice will give you a nice tangy and slightly sour flavor to the ice cream. You will also be using the lemon zest in this recipe.
Graham Cracker: When you make a cheesecake, you have a graham cracker crust, so this will help with that cheesecake texture we all know and love.
Butter: It is best to use unsalted butter for this recipe. Using unsalted butter will give you control of the flavoring in the recipe. This will allow the rawest and most natural flavor to come out in the recipe.
Cream Cheese: Use softened or room temperature cream cheese to allow ingredients to blend more easily. Using cream cheese in your filling will enhance the flavor and give it a more fluffy and delectable texture.
Sweetened Condensed Milk: This ingredient is all about getting that smooth and almost creamy texture that you love when it comes to ice cream.
Heavy Whipping Cream: This is a great thickening agent and when used at room temperature it creates a creamy consistency.
Vanilla Extract: Vanilla is used not only to add an aroma to the recipe but also to enhance the flavor as well for a sweeter and more delicious recipe.
How To Make Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
Step 1. Add the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and salt into a saucepan and combine. Allow the mixture to cook for 10 minutes and bring to a boil until soft and mushy.
Graham Cracker Swirl
Step 1. Add the graham crackers, butter, and sugar into a medium bowl and combine them into a sandy mixture.
Cheesecake Base
Step 1. Add the cream cheese and condensed milk into a large bowl and combine on low-medium speed for 3-4 minutes until combined. Place the heavy cream and vanilla into another bowl and combine for 7-8 minutes until it forms soft peaks. Slowly combine the whipped cream in batches and fold to combine using a spatula until fully combined. Put in the lemon zest and combine again.
Step 2. Add the prepared strawberry mixture into the ice cream base and leave 1/4 cup for later.
Fold to combine for about 2-3 minutes. Put the 2 tbsp of the graham cracker mixture into the base of a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Place 1/3 of the ice cream base onto the crust layer and sprinkle with a bite of the crust mixture, then continue until the loaf pan is full (should only be about 2 more times).
Step 3. Put in the strawberry compote and use a knife to swirl into the ice cream base. Seal with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 6 hours or overnight for the best results.
Step 4. Scoop into a cone or in a bowl and serve. Enjoy!
