A quick and easy no-churn strawberry cheesecake ice cream with a delightful graham cracker swirl, perfect for summer parties and last-minute desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup (300 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) frozen strawberries, thawed and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup (about 8 full crackers) graham crackers, crushed into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the strawberries: Toss thawed strawberries with lemon juice in a small bowl and set aside (about 5 minutes).
  2. Mix cream cheese and condensed milk: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then slowly add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until creamy (about 3 minutes).
  3. Whip the cream: In a large chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form (4-5 minutes).
  4. Combine mixtures: Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula, keeping it airy and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  5. Fold in strawberries: Add chopped strawberries and fold just enough to distribute evenly without breaking them down.
  6. Prepare graham cracker swirl: Crush graham crackers into a mix of fine crumbs and chunks.
  7. Layer and swirl: Pour half the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container, sprinkle half the crushed graham crackers, add remaining ice cream mixture, then top with remaining graham crackers. Gently swirl with a butter knife or skewer.
  8. Freeze: Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  9. Serve: Let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping for easier serving and creamier texture.

Notes

Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better peaks. Soften cream cheese well to avoid lumps. Fold mixtures gently to keep airiness. Let ice cream freeze fully for best texture. Let sit 5 minutes at room temperature before serving for easier scooping.
