A quick and easy no-churn ice cream recipe combining the rich tang of cheesecake with fresh strawberries for a creamy, dreamy summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and lemon juice. Stir well and let macerate at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  2. Pulse half of the macerated strawberries in a blender or food processor into a chunky puree. Set aside the remaining berries.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with remaining 1/4 cup sugar until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  4. In a chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  5. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in three additions. Then fold in strawberry puree and remaining macerated berries, stirring just until swirled through.
  6. Transfer mixture to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight.
  7. Before serving, let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften for easier scooping.

Notes

Softening the cream cheese well prevents lumps. Chill mixing bowl and beaters for fluffier whipped cream. Fold ingredients gently to preserve airiness. Adjust sugar based on strawberry sweetness. Let ice cream soften before scooping for best texture. Use frozen strawberries thawed and drained if fresh are unavailable. For dairy-free, substitute plant-based cream cheese, coconut cream, and dairy-free condensed milk.
