A luscious, easy no-churn ice cream combining tangy cream cheese and sweet strawberry swirls for a perfect summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (160 g) strawberry preserves
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if using, then mix again.
  4. Gently fold about half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula, then fold in the remaining whipped cream until fully incorporated.
  5. Toss the chopped fresh strawberries with lemon juice and set aside for a few minutes.
  6. Spoon half of the ice cream base into a loaf pan or airtight container. Dollop half of the strawberry preserves and fresh strawberries on top. Use a butter knife or skewer to swirl the preserves gently through the ice cream.
  7. Repeat layering with the remaining ice cream base, preserves, and strawberries, swirling again.
  8. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or an airtight lid and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm but scoopable.
  9. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes for easier scooping.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften at room temperature to avoid lumps. Whip cream to soft peaks, not stiff. Fold preserves gently to keep pretty swirls. Freeze overnight for best texture. Let ice cream sit 5-10 minutes before scooping.
