A rich and creamy no-churn strawberry cheesecake ice cream made easily at home without an ice cream maker, featuring fresh strawberries and a tangy cream cheese base.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (300 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Optional: ½ cup (50 g) crushed graham crackers

Instructions

  1. Combine chopped strawberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice in a bowl. Stir gently and let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. Transfer macerated strawberries to a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth but slightly chunky. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and silky smooth.
  5. Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula, keeping the mixture fluffy and airy.
  6. Fold in the strawberry puree lightly to create pink swirls without fully blending the color.
  7. If using, fold in crushed graham crackers for texture.
  8. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
  9. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  10. Remove from freezer about 10 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.

Notes

Macerate strawberries to avoid icy chunks and enhance flavor. Whip cream to stiff peaks but avoid overbeating. Fold ingredients gently to keep airiness. Freeze for at least 6 hours for best texture. Let ice cream soften 5-10 minutes before serving. For dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream and vegan cream cheese.
