An easy homemade no-churn ice cream recipe combining creamy cream cheese, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream for a rich, tangy cheesecake flavor without baking or an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • ¼ cup (50 g) sugar
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Make the strawberry compote: In a medium saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, ¼ cup sugar, and 1 tsp lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Strain through a fine mesh sieve for smooth compote or leave chunky.
  2. Whip the cream cheese: Beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Whip the heavy cream: In a chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream and lemon juice until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture gently in two additions to keep mixture airy and fluffy.
  5. Assemble the ice cream: Pour half the ice cream base into a freezer-safe container. Spoon half the strawberry compote over it and swirl gently. Repeat with remaining base and compote.
  6. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  7. Before serving, remove from freezer 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop with an ice cream scoop dipped in warm water.

Notes

Use cold cream and chilled bowls for better whipping. Softened cream cheese is essential to avoid lumps. Fold whipped cream gently to keep texture airy. For chunkier texture, add crushed graham crackers before freezing. Store airtight to prevent freezer burn. Can substitute coconut cream and vegan cream cheese for a dairy-free version.
