Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
Hull and slice the fresh strawberries. Place them in a bowl and toss with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Cover and let them macerate for 15 minutes, allowing the strawberries to release their juices.
Using a blender or food processor, purée the macerated strawberries until smooth. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar to the cream cheese and mix until fully incorporated.
Pour in the heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Gently fold in the strawberry purée until the ice cream base has a uniform pink color and the flavors are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a thick, soft-serve consistency.
In the last 5 minutes of churning, gradually sprinkle in the graham cracker crumbs to incorporate them evenly throughout the ice cream.
Once churned, transfer the ice cream into an airtight container. Cover and freeze for 4-6 hours for a firmer scoopable consistency.
Serve in bowls or cones and enjoy the creamy, tangy, and fruity delight!
