- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup sugar (for raspberry swirl)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (for raspberry swirl)
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Add the lemon juice and mix until well combined.
- Fold the cream cheese mixture into the milk and cream mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20-25 minutes).
- While the ice cream is churning, prepare the raspberry swirl by pureeing the raspberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
- Once the ice cream has finished churning, transfer it to a container. Drizzle the raspberry puree over the top and gently swirl it into the ice cream with a spoon or spatula.
- Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours, or until firm, before serving.
Notes
- For a more intense raspberry flavor, you can increase the amount of raspberry puree or add a few extra tablespoons of sugar to the puree.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow pan and freeze it, stirring every 30 minutes for about 3 hours until it reaches a creamy consistency.
- This ice cream is best served within a week for optimal freshness.
