Instructions
Making Berry Cheesecake Ice Cream is a seamless process when you follow these clear steps:
1. Prepare the Berries: Rinse the berries and pat them dry. Cut larger berries like strawberries into quarters.
2. Blend the Berry Mixture: Using a blender or food processor, puree the mixed berries until smooth. Set aside a few chunks for texture.
3. Mix the Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy and smooth with no lumps.
4. Add the Condensed Milk: Gradually whisk in the sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
5. Incorporate Cream: Add the heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, salt, and lemon juice. Mix until the mixture is fluffy and light.
6. Fold in the Berry Puree: Gently fold in the pureed berries, leaving swirls of color and flavor. Add some of the reserved berry chunks for added texture.
7. Transfer the Mixture: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Freeze: Cover the container with an airtight lid and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until firm.
9. Scoop and Serve: Remove the ice cream from the freezer a few minutes before serving for easy scooping.
