For the Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
Method
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Strawberry Mixture
If using fresh strawberries, wash and hull them, then chop them into small pieces. If using frozen strawberries, thaw them and chop. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberries with 1 tablespoon of sugar and cook until they are soft and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Let cool.

Make the Cheesecake Base
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with the remaining sugar until smooth. Add the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined and creamy.
