Strawberry Compote
  • 1 1/2 cups freshly chopped strawberries
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Cheesecake Ice Cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

instructions

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 to 7 minutes, or until strawberries have softened and the mixture is thick. Remove from stove and cool completely, chilling in the fridge if needed to cool faster.
  • Add cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer fitter with the paddle attachment. Cream the cheese lightly, until it is creamy and smooth. Add in milk, cream, sugar and salt and continue to blend until smooth.
  • Add the cream cheese ice cream mixture to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Spoon in the strawberry compote, add in the graham crackers, and churn for 1 additional minute.
  • Pour the mixture into an airtight container and freeze overnight before serving.
