Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

With my kids back in school, the sleep in/ eat when we feel like it/ wear pajamas all day/ relax/carefree schedule days of summer are over. Thankfully, we are still enjoying glorious summer weather.

Which means I am trying to sneak in homemade ice cream as often as I can before the first frost comes. Have I mentioned that I love homemade ice cream? I’m pretty sure it is a major culprit in the um, shrinking of my pants. 😉

After trying the sweetened condensed milk in my  Burnt Almond Fudge Ice Cream, I decided to come up with different flavors. Strawberries were on sale, and I had some cream cheese in the fridge, so Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream was was a natural choice.

And boy oh boy was it yummy! It takes a little planning ahead because you have to make the crust and let it chill, but the ice cream itself comes together in a snap. It is rich and creamy, and the strawberries and graham cracker crust are perfect together.

It was devoured almost instantly at my house. And I am still thinking about it. And maybe even drooling a little. So hurry and give it a try while you still can!
