No-Churn Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream with Graham Swirl

  • Author: Julia
  • Total Time: 6 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

A creamy, tangy no-churn ice cream featuring fresh strawberries, cream cheese, and a buttery graham cracker swirl, requiring no ice cream machine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 8 oz (225g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 ½ cups (200g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham crackers, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. Crush graham crackers into coarse crumbs. Mix with melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a separate large bowl, whip cold heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold sliced strawberries into the cream cheese mixture.
  6. Fold half of the graham cracker butter mixture into the cream cheese-strawberry mixture.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two batches until just combined.
  8. Spread half of the ice cream mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the reserved graham cracker mixture. Add remaining ice cream mixture and top with remaining crumbs.
  9. Gently swirl the crumbs into the ice cream with a knife.
  10. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  11. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping and serving.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Keep heavy cream and bowls cold for best whipping results. Do not overmix the graham cracker swirl to maintain texture. Let ice cream soften slightly before serving for easier scooping.
