An easy, no-churn homemade strawberry cheesecake ice cream recipe that combines creamy cream cheese with fresh strawberry swirls for a rich, indulgent treat perfect for summer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (225 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Optional: 1/2 cup (50 g) graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberry puree by combining hulled and chopped strawberries with lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Pulse until smooth but still slightly textured, about 30 seconds. Set aside.
  2. Whip the heavy cream in a large bowl using an electric mixer or whisk until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. If lumps remain, mix gently or use a hand mixer on low speed.
  4. Fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently to lighten the texture. Then fold in the remaining whipped cream carefully to keep it airy.
  5. Spoon half of the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container, then drizzle half the strawberry puree over the top. Use a knife or skewer to swirl it through gently. Repeat with the remaining ice cream mixture and puree.
  6. Add graham cracker crumbs if desired by sprinkling on top or folding some into the mixture before freezing.
  7. Cover the container tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for easier serving.

Notes

Bring cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps. Do not over-whip the cream to prevent grainy texture. Let ice cream soften 5-10 minutes at room temperature before serving. Optional graham cracker crumbs add crunch. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and cream cheese with plant-based alternative.
