Cómo preparar Cheesecake Ice Cream
- In a large bowl, beat together 16 ounces (2 packages) of cream cheese and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until completely smooth and creamy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- Set aside the cream cheese mixture.
- In a medium saucepan, heat 4 cups whole milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Slowly pour the hot milk into the cream cheese mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
- Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until the custard thickens slightly (it should coat the back of a spoon), about 5-7 minutes. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and pour the hot custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large clean bowl to remove any lumps.
- Let the custard cool completely, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon zest (omit for white chocolate or Oreo variations) and 1 cup heavy cream.
- Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
- Once chilled, stir the custard to ensure it's smooth.
- Churn the chilled custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. When the ice cream is almost frozen (semifrozen), add ½ cup crumbled graham crackers (or Oreos or omit for white chocolate version).
- Allow the ice cream maker to fully incorporate the crackers.
- The ice cream will be soft-serve consistency when finished. For firmer ice cream, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for several hours.
- **White Chocolate Cheesecake Ice Cream:** Omit the lemon zest. Add ½ cup melted white chocolate chips to the custard along with the vanilla extract. Proceed as directed.
- **Oreo Cheesecake Ice Cream:** Omit the lemon zest. Substitute ½ cup crumbled Oreos for the graham crackers. Proceed as directed.
