Ingredients
Scale
Dairy
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1/4 cup strawberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- Whip the heavy cream: In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring it is fluffy and holds its shape well.
- Prepare cream cheese mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Then gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and the pureed fresh strawberries until evenly combined.
- Combine mixtures: Carefully fold the cream cheese and strawberry mixture into the whipped heavy cream, mixing until the blend is uniform but still light and airy.
- Layer in loaf pan: Pour half of the combined ice cream mixture into a loaf pan. Drizzle half of the strawberry sauce evenly over the layer, then sprinkle half of the crushed graham crackers on top.
- Repeat layers: Add the remaining ice cream mixture on top, followed by the remaining strawberry sauce and crushed graham crackers.
- Swirl and freeze: Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the top layers to create marbled patterns. Cover the loaf pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to allow the ice cream to set completely.
Notes
- For softer ice cream right out of the freezer, let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
- You can substitute strawberry sauce with other fruit sauces or preserves for variety.
- Mix in additional toppings like chocolate chips or nuts if desired.
- This recipe does not require an ice cream maker, making it accessible for any home cook.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth mixture.
