๐Ÿจ Experience the perfect fusion of creamy cheesecake and tangy raspberries in this homemade ice cream that delivers restaurant-quality texture and flavor
๐Ÿ“ Beat the heat with this refreshing frozen dessert that combines sweet raspberry swirls, rich cheesecake base, and crunchy graham cracker bits in every spoonful

  • Total Time: 3 hours 35 minutes
  • Yield: 1ยฝ to 2 quarts (8-10 servings)

Ingredients

– 12 oz (about 340 g) fresh raspberries for the coulis and overall flavor

– ยฝ cup (100 g) sugar used in the coulis to dissolve and sweeten

– Juice of 1 lime adds acidity and brightness to the coulis

– 8 oz (225 g) softened cream cheese forms the creamy base of the ice cream

– ยฝ cup (100 g) sugar mixed into the cream cheese for sweetness

– 1 cup (240 ml) milk preferably whole milk for the best creamy texture

– ยฝ cup (120 ml) heavy cream contributes to the rich, smooth consistency

– 2 oz (56 g) graham cracker crumbs for layering and adding crunch

Instructions

1-Start by making the raspberry coulis, as it sets the flavor foundation for this recipe. Cook 12 oz (about 340 g) fresh raspberries with ยฝ cup (100 g) sugar and the juice of 1 lime in a saucepan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until the berries soften and the sugar dissolves. Once cooled, puree and strain the mixture to remove seeds, then chill it in the fridge.

2-Next, prepare the ice cream base by beating 8 oz (225 g) softened cream cheese with ยฝ cup (100 g) sugar until smooth and creamy. Gradually mix in 1 cup (240 ml) milk and ยฝ cup (120 ml) heavy cream, then chill the mixture for about 1 hour. Add half of the raspberry coulis to this base and freeze it in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer's instructions.

3-Once the ice cream is frozen, layer it in a freezer-safe container by alternating with the remaining raspberry coulis and 2 oz (56 g) graham cracker crumbs, repeating the layers 2 to 3 times. Freeze the assembled ice cream for an additional 2 hours until it's firm and ready to serve. The whole process takes around 35 minutes of active prep, making it a breeze for home cooks.

Notes

๐ŸŒก๏ธ Use whole milk for the creamiest texture – low-fat milk can result in icy crystals in your finished ice cream
๐Ÿฏ Don’t skip the chilling steps – both the coulis and ice cream base need to be thoroughly cold before freezing for optimal results
๐Ÿฐ For extra crunch, toast the graham cracker crumbs in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes until golden before layering
