No-Churn Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
We just got back from a cruise and our last day was in the Bahamas. It was so hot! Something about the white sand and the bright sun was blinding. I even had a hat and sunglasses and could barely make my way from point A to B.
The low was everyone getting stung by jellyfish the last hour of the day. The highlight of the day was the free ice cream machine on the island. It was super creamy (McDonald’s soft serve style) and heavenly.
We made some of this No-Churn Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream before the cruise and came home and made more after because it’s that easy and that good.
No-churn ice cream means exactly that. No machine required, no salt, no shaking…just super easy and super creamy.
My favorite ice cream is strawberry cheesecake ice cream so of course I had to make strawberry topping. My husband said it smelled like Cold Stone while this was simmering.
HOW TO MAKE FRUIT TOPPING
You can customize the fruit topping with any fruit you like but I love strawberry. You can use this to top regular old ice cream, waffles, or pancakes.
- In a saucepan, bring the strawberries (or fruit of your choice) to a boil with sugar and vanilla.
- Reduce heat and simmer until the mixture thicken.
OTHER ADD INS
You can swap out the strawberries for:
- blueberries
- blackberries
- raspberries
- peaches
Or forego the fruit altogether and add:
- peanut butter
- chocolate
- sprinkles
- fudge
- crumbled Oreo cookies
- brownie chunks
- nuts
My ice cream was melting because Florida in late June is brutal. The feels like today was 108 degrees and it’s only getting worse from here. July is pretty much a mass exodus and everyone leaves to escape the heat.
HOW TO MAKE NO-CHURN ICE CREAM
- Whip cream into soft peaks.
- Mix together the sweetened condensed milk and cream cheese.
- Slowly fold in whipped cream.
- Add in mix-ins or sprinkle them on top.

No-Churn Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
Ingredients
Strawberry Topping:
- 3/4 cup diced strawberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
Ice Cream:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
Other Toppings:
- 4 graham crackers, coarsely crumbled
Instructions
Strawberry Topping:
- In a small saucepan, add the strawberries, sugar, and vanilla. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes or until sauce thickens. Let cool completely. You can speed this up by chilling in the refrigerator.
Ice Cream:
- Whip the cream in a bowl until soft peaks form. Transfer to another bowl. Some cream might still be in the bowl but no need to wash it.
- Add the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk to the bowl and beat until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
- Fold in the graham crackers and transfer mixture to a freezable container allowing for some room for it to expand when it freezes. Drizzle the strawberry mixture on top and swirl with a knife. Sprinkle additional graham cracker chunks on top if desired. Freeze for 8 hours or until firm.
I just wanted to say your recipes look So Good. I recently follow a person that posted One of your recipes very impressive.š„°š
Thank you!
I may never buy ice cream again! This took all of 10 minutes to put together, and the result is rich without being icky-sweet. I varied the recipe by not adding fruit and adding a tiny bit of vanilla extract to see how a plain version would taste. Next time I’m going to try letting it chill/freeze to a softer consistency and using it as a chilled topping for fresh fruit.
Yay! That makes me happy!
Thank you for this recipe! I was looking for ideas to use tons of homemade lemon curd, so I made lemon cheesecake ice cream following your model (but with lemon curd and spĆ©culos cookies).Ā Itās my first time making ice cream and Iām really happy with the result!
So happy to hear that!
This really looks yum. I am sorry to bother, how do you go about making it with CHOCOLATES and or peanut butter? Is it the same process as doing it with the strawberries?
thanks for your reply, Gaya
You can just throw whatever toppings you want in instead of strawberries.
Cool Whip totally works for this recipe
I’m sure it does. I’m not a fan.
Can you substitute anything for the condensed milk?
Oh my my wat a delicious recipe. I made this yester and it was a hit. So simple to make and yet so delicious. I was short on cream cheese. But still it was awesome. Thanks for posting such easy awesome recipes. I have subscribed to your site. God bless take care.
You are welcome! So glad you liked it.
Can frozen berries be used for this?
Delicious and so easy to make! Thanks for the great recipe!
Any milk subs one can use? This looks amazing!
Hmmm. Maybe coconut cream?
Hi Christy!Ā
The ice cream looks delicious. š Canāt wait to try it! Ā Iām wondering, would Cool Whip work in place of heavy cream?Ā
Ā
ThanksĀ
I haven’t tried it but I’m sure it would.
You wouldn’t have to sweeten the Cool whip obviously.
This looks awesome! I don’t have an ice cream maker so I’m excited that this doesn’t require one.
Yep. Totally easy.
This looks so delicious! My only concern with this recipe is how do you stop at just one bowl?! YUM!
Hahaha.
