This creamy and luscious Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream combines fresh strawberries with smooth cream cheese and a hint of vanilla. Using sweetened condensed milk adds the perfect level of sweetness, making this homemade treat delightfully rich and refreshing. The recipe is prepared effortlessly in a blender and frozen with the Ninja Creami to achieve a smooth, velvety texture that’s perfect for a cool dessert on a warm day.

  • Total Time: 24 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

  • 1.5 cups half and half
  • 1 cup strawberries
  • ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk (add more if you prefer it sweeter)
  • ½ cup cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

  1. Macerate the strawberries: Toss the fresh strawberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar and let them sit for 10 minutes. This process draws out the natural juices and softens the fruit, enhancing its flavor and sweetness when blended into the ice cream.
  2. Blend ingredients: Combine the macerated strawberries, half and half, sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
  3. Freeze in a Ninja Creami pint: Pour the blended mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 24 hours to allow the mixture to solidify properly for the Creami machine.
  4. Spin on the right mode: Place the frozen pint into the Ninja Creami machine and select the “Ice Cream” setting. This process churns the mixture into smooth and creamy ice cream with a perfect texture.
  5. Re-spin if needed: If the ice cream appears crumbly or icy, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to the pint and use the re-spin function on the Ninja Creami. This will help improve the creaminess and softness of the ice cream.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Scoop the strawberry cheesecake ice cream into bowls or cones. Optionally, top with graham cracker crumbs, strawberry sauce, or fresh berries to elevate the dessert experience.

Notes

  • Adding more sweetened condensed milk will increase the sweetness of the ice cream.
  • Ensure the ice cream base is well blended for the smoothest texture.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
  • The Ninja Creami is essential for achieving the ideal creamy texture; without it, expect a more icy consistency.
  • Leftover ice cream can be stored in the freezer for up to one week.
