Creating this Berry Cheesecake Ice Cream can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Berries: Wash the mixed berries thoroughly. If using strawberries, chop them into smaller pieces. Set aside for later.

2. Combine Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Ensure there are no lumps.

3. Add Sour Cream and Heavy Cream: Gradually stir in the sour cream and heavy cream. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing until well incorporated.

4. Incorporate Berries: Gently fold in the mixed berries. If you want a marbled effect, reserve a few berries to add later.

5. Fold in Graham Crackers: If adding graham cracker crumbs for additional texture, fold them into the mixture just until combined.

6. Transfer to Container: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula. Optionally, add the reserved berries on top for garnish.

7. Cover and Freeze: Seal the container with a lid or cover with plastic wrap. Place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

8. Scoop and Serve: When you’re ready to serve, remove the ice cream from the freezer. Allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make scooping easier.

These easy steps will guide you in crafting this incredible ice cream without any fuss. Enjoy the process and get ready for a delicious outcome!
