Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake Ice Cream

Print Recipe

A creamy, decadent cheesecake ice cream swirled with a tangy raspberry sauce for the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 tbsp sugar (for raspberry swirl)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (for raspberry swirl)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and 3/4 cup sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warm.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Slowly add the warm cream mixture to the cream cheese while continuing to beat until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt until well incorporated.
  4. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  5. While the base chills, prepare the raspberry swirl. In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp lemon juice. Heat over medium heat, mashing the raspberries as they cook, until the mixture becomes a thick sauce (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine sieve to remove seeds, then allow the sauce to cool.
  7. Once the ice cream base is chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  8. After churning, transfer the ice cream to a container, layering it with the raspberry sauce as you go. Use a spoon or knife to swirl the raspberry sauce into the ice cream.
  9. Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours before serving to allow it to firm up.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to prevent lumps in the ice cream base.
  • If you prefer a sweeter raspberry swirl, you can add more sugar to the raspberry sauce.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute with coconut milk and dairy-free cream cheese.
