6. Cream Cheese Ice Cream
I've had a day of doing lots of cooking today. Not the wisest of moves on a blisteringly hot day but at least some of the things were frozen, like the cream cheese ice cream.
You might be thinking that cream cheese ice cream sounds a bit odd, but when you think about it it's really just frozen cheesecake filling. I had a cheese ice cream in Spain about 6 years ago and it was gorgeous, so this was my attempt to replicate that. It isn't quite the same as that one, a bit more creamy and less sharp, but still oh so good. Having been without an ice cream maker since my last one broke through overuse, I had to do it freezer method, but I wanted one I didn't have to keep having to stir to stop it being full of ice crystals. I found a Nigella recipe which offered just that and adapted it to my needs.
Ingredients
300ml Double Cream
167ml Condensed Milk
200g Cream Cheese (low fat, full fat doesn't really matter)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tblsp Vanilla liqueur or what ever other alcohol you fancy.
Method
1. Pour all the ingredients into a large bowl.
2. Whisk until soft peaks form.
3. Spoon into a tub and freeze.
And that's it!
I had some this evening with strawberries picked fresh from the garden & boy was it good!
Still missing my camera, so it's a crap photo from my Blackberry, sorry.
