A luscious, no-churn ice cream combining creamy cheesecake flavor with fresh strawberries and crunchy graham cracker bits. Easy to make without an ice cream maker, perfect for summer treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (480 ml)
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • ⅓ cup (65 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (100 g) graham crackers, crushed
  • Optional: 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Place chopped strawberries in a bowl, sprinkle with sugar and optional lemon juice. Stir gently and let macerate for 10 minutes until juicy and fragrant. Puree half the strawberries until smooth but slightly chunky. Set aside.
  2. In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and lump-free. Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing until silky.
  4. Gently fold strawberry puree into the cream cheese mixture to create a swirl effect.
  5. Carefully fold whipped cream into the strawberry-cheesecake mixture, keeping it airy and light.
  6. Fold in remaining chopped strawberries and crushed graham crackers evenly.
  7. Transfer mixture to a freezer-safe container, press plastic wrap on the surface to minimize ice crystals, cover with lid, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.

Notes

Soften cream cheese well to avoid lumps. Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best texture. Fold ingredients gently to keep mixture airy. Freeze at least 6 hours or overnight. Let ice cream sit at room temperature 5-10 minutes before scooping for best texture. Use gluten-free graham crackers for gluten-free version. Coconut cream and dairy-free substitutes can be used for dairy-free adaptation.
