Raspberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

Ingredients
  

For the ice cream base:

  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 oz full-fat cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

For the raspberry swirl:

  • 1 1/2 cups Ontario raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • Graham cracker crumbs to garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

For the ice cream base:

  • To a saucepan over medium heat bring the milk to a gentle simmer, but do not boil.
  • In a mixing bowl whisk together the egg yolks & sugar. Slowly temper in the milk to the egg yolks. Add the mixture back to the saucepan & continue cooking until the milk slightly thickens, about 4 minutes.
  • Transfer the mixing back to the mixing bowl. Whisk in the cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla & salt until fully incorporated. Run mixture through a fine mesh strainer & chill overnight.
  • Once the mixture has been fully chilled, transfer to an ice cream maker & churn for 30 minutes.
  • Add half the churned ice cream to a loaf & half the raspberry sauce. Swirl raspberry sauce into the ice cream using an offset spatula & repeat.
  • Finish with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs if desired. Transfer to the freezer & let chill for a minimum of 4 hours.

For the raspberry swirl:

  • To a saucepan over medium heat add the raspberries, sugar, lemon juice & cornstarch.
  • Mash the berries with a fork. Cook until the berries have broken down & the sauce has slightly thickened.
  • Run mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds, ensuring every little bit of sauce is squeezed out.
  • Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
