Ingredients

For the strawberries:

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons water

For the cheesecake ice cream base:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ⅔ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 lemon, zesteed
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • Waffle Cones for serving

Instructions

For the strawberries:

  • In a saucepan heat all ingredients over low heat. Stir frequently until it boils, about 5 minutes. Reduce for another 2 minutes to let everything meld together and then remove from the heat. Transfer to a shallow container, mash berries with a fork or spoon and refrigerate.

For the cheesecake ice cream base:

  • In a bowl, beat cream cheese, heavy cream, sour cream and sugar just until smooth. Add zest, vanilla and salt. Combine, transfer to a container with a lid, or bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until very cold, 6 to 8 hours or overnight.
  • Place the mixture in your ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer´s directions.
  • Transfer to a freezer-proof container, add strawberry mixture, swirl a few times, cover and freeze until solid.

Notes

Keep in mind that homemade ice cream freezes quite solid, so you'll want to take it out to soften a bit before serving.
