A quick and easy no-churn ice cream recipe combining creamy cheesecake flavor with a bright strawberry swirl, perfect for any occasion without the need for an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 can (14 oz / 395 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened (Philadelphia recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Swirl: In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until strawberries break down and mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely, then pulse in a food processor until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Whip the Cream: Chill mixing bowl and beaters in fridge for 10 minutes. Pour cold heavy cream into bowl and whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  3. Mix the Cream Cheese Base: In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  4. Fold the Whipped Cream into the Cream Cheese Mixture: Gently fold about one-third of whipped cream into cream cheese mixture to lighten it, then carefully fold in the rest using a spatula to keep air in.
  5. Assemble the Ice Cream: Pour half of the ice cream base into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Spoon half of the strawberry puree on top in dollops. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the strawberry through the ice cream gently. Repeat with remaining ice cream and strawberry swirl. Do not overmix.
  6. Freeze: Cover container with plastic wrap or lid and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  7. Serve: Let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.

Notes

Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Do not overmix when folding whipped cream to keep ice cream light and creamy. Cook strawberry swirl to concentrate flavor and prevent watery texture. Let ice cream soften 5 minutes before serving. For dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream and dairy-free cream cheese. Use sugar substitutes for low-sugar option.
