Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream: The Magical Summer Dessert You Deserve!
Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream with roasted berries and cream cheese swirls makes the perfect summer treat. Creamy, tangy, and utterly irresistible!
Ingredients
- 1 quart fresh strawberries hulled and quartered
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar divided
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 6 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 whole graham crackers chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (I've learned the hard way that skipping the parchment means scrubbing the pan until midnight. Don't be like past-me.)
- Toss those gorgeous strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar and that tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Spread them out on your baking sheet in one even layer – give them space to breathe and release their juices.
- Roast for about 30 minutes. Your kitchen will smell like summer heaven, and the berries will turn darker, softer, and release their juices. This is where the magic begins.
- Transfer everything – berries and all those precious juices – to a bowl and mash them until only small pieces remain. Think rustic, not completely smooth. Cover and chill for about an hour. Quick tip: If your day is running away from you, these roasted berries can hang out in the fridge for up to 3 days, making this a perfect prep-ahead recipe for busy moms
