This ice cream can be made with fresh or frozen berries. If you’re using frozen berries, let them thaw at room temperature for about half an hour before attempting to mash them.

For the strawberry puree, mash the strawberries in a medium saucepan. Add the sugar and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to a simmer and simmer, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. When ready, remove from the heat and allow the puree to cool completely. Then chill it in the freezer while the ice cream is churning out.

The puree needs to be really COLD before adding it to the ice cream.

Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream recipe

Combine cream cheese, sour cream, lemon zest, heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth.

Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When the ice cream is almost ready, take the cold strawberry puree out of the freezer and give it a good stir.

When the ice cream is agitated, transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Drizzle with about two-thirds of the strawberry puree, reserving the remaining puree for sprinkling if you like.

Using a knife, swirl the berry sauce through the ice cream. Freeze for a few hours before serving.
