Raspberry Cheesecake Ice Cream, Philadelphia Style

Wednesday, September 21, 2011


I'll admit, this recipe needed some major tweaking, but I'm really pleased with the results. The ice cream is rich, creamy and full of cheesecake flavor. The raspberry swirl is sweet and tangy and really pairs nicely with the tart flavor of the cream cheese. Since it's such a thick base to begin with, it hardens up nicely in the machine and requires only a minimal amount of freezer time before it can be served.

1 c. whole milk
1 c. heavy cream
3/4 c. Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1/4 c. sour cream

1/4 tsp. salt

Raspberry swirl:
1/2 c. raspberries, fresh or frozen
1/4 c. raspberry preserves
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. heavy cream

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a blender or food processor, add milk, 1 c. heavy cream, cream cheese and sour cream. Blend until smooth.
