A quick and easy no-churn ice cream recipe combining cream cheese and fresh strawberries for a creamy, tangy-sweet homemade treat perfect for summer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 oz / 225 g) package cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Swirl: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate and release juices. Optionally mash lightly or pulse in a blender for smoother texture. Set aside.
  2. Beat the Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese while mixing on low speed until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
  4. Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Fold Cream into Cream Cheese: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until smooth and fluffy with no streaks.
  6. Layer Strawberry Swirl: Pour half the ice cream base into a freezer-safe container, spoon half the strawberry mixture over it, and gently swirl with a knife or skewer. Repeat with remaining ice cream and strawberries.
  7. Freeze: Cover tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm. Avoid stirring once frozen to maintain creamy texture.

Notes

Use cold heavy cream and chilled bowl for best whipping results. Soften cream cheese well to avoid lumps. Macerate strawberries to prevent watery ice cream. Use gentle folding to keep airy texture. Let ice cream soften 5-10 minutes before scooping. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained well.
