Kitchen Equipment Required
- Ice Cream Maker
- Medium Mixing Bowl
- Electric Mixer
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Freezer-Safe Container
- Small Saucepan
- Spoon for Swirling
Cooking Time
Total estimated time: 1 hour (excluding freezing time)
Ingredients
- 250g (1 cup) cream cheese, softened
- 395g (1 can/14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 250ml (1 cup) heavy cream
- 125ml (1/2 cup) whole milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Graham Swirls:
- 60g (1/2 cup) graham cracker crumbs
- 50g (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 10g (2 tbsp) brown sugar
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ice Cream Base
In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until creamy and smooth. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk and continue to beat until thoroughly combined. Add the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 2: Chill the Mixture
Pour the ice cream base into your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This process typically takes about 20-25 minutes. While it churns, prepare the graham swirls.
Step 3: Prepare the Graham Swirls
In a small saucepan, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves completely, creating a thick, crumbly mixture. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 4: Combine the Ice Cream and Swirls
Once the ice cream is churned to a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Spoon dollops of the graham cracker mixture over the ice cream. Use a spoon or spatula to gently swirl the graham mixture into the ice cream to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to over-mix.
Step 5: Freeze
Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. This allows the flavors to develop and the ice cream to set to the right consistency.
Step 6: Serve
Once the ice cream is firm, scoop it into bowls or cones and enjoy your freshly made Cheesecake Ice Cream with Graham Swirls. It’s best served with fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
