Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream

This Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream combines juicy strawberries, velvety cream cheese, and crumbled cake into a no churn ice cream delight.
Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries diced
  • 2 tbsp strawberry jam
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup crumbled cake or 0.75 cup crushed shortbread cookies

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Add strawberries, jam, sugar, and lemon juice to a medium-sized pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Continue to boil for an additional 8-10 minutes until juices have released, strawberries have softened and the sauce has thickened quite a bit to concentrate the berries. Remove strawberries from heat and allow them to cool. Then place them in the refrigerator for 1 hour to completely cool them down.
  • Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks and set aside. Add cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer or a medium-sized bowl if using a hand mixer. Beat on medium-high speed, then slowly add in condensed milk and vanilla extract, and mix until completely smooth.
  • Turn off the mixer and fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
  • Once whipped cream is folded in, carefully fold in the strawberries into the batter, only folding 3-4 times just until the strawberries have distinctly swirled through the batter (don't over fold the strawberries because you will turn the entire ice cream mixture pink).
  • To freeze, alternate adding ice cream mixture and crumbled cake to freezer-safe containers. Freeze for at least 5-7 hours then serve.
  • Let the ice cream sit out for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure the strawberry mixture is completely cooled before folding it into the cream base to prevent melting the whipped cream.
