This sweet no churn strawberry cheesecake ice cream is the perfect combination of summer strawberries and creamy cheesecake flavor. This is homemade ice cream at its best!
Add the heavy cream to a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
Beat on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
Add the cream cheese and mix on low speed just until it is combined, about 1 minute.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract and fold them gently into the whipped cream. You don't want to deflate the whipped cream so fold gently.
When the mixture is combined fold in the graham crackers and chopped strawberries.
Pour half of the whipped mixture into a 9x5 loaf pan and gently smooth.
Add the strawberry jam on top of the whipped mixture in the pan and top with the remaining whipped mixture.
Using a butter knife gently swirl the ice cream in the loaf pan so the strawberry jam will become distributed through the ice cream.
Wrap the pan in plastic wrap and add to the freeze for a minimum of 12 hours, but overnight is preferred.
Once the ice cream has hardened, scoop and serve and top with chocolate sauce if desired.
Keep covered and frozen for up to 3 weeks.
Notes
Heavy creamy whips and freezes into a light and fluffy ice cream. you cannot substitute lower-fat milk or milk alternatives for this recipe.
Sweetened condensed milk adds sweetness and creaminess to the ice cream. Make sure you're not using evaporated milk - it's not the same.
You can use vanilla bean paste in place of vanilla extract for extra flavor and color.
Use your favorite store-bought or homemade strawberry jam.
