4th of July part 2

July 4, 2009 by smallkitchenbigideas

My sister Elizabeth loves the cheesecake ice cream from Perfect Scoop. When my mother called me to ask me to make home-made ice cream for the 4th, Elizabeth jumped in and asked specifically for it. Most of David Lebovitz’s ice cream recipes make around or less than a quart so I decided to double it.

cream cheese chunks

I cut 16 oz of cream cheese into chunks and put in the blender with 1 1/3 cup sugar, 2 cups of sour cream, 1 cup of half’n'half, zest of one lemon, and a pinch of salt.

My blender was almost overflowing.

The ice cream batter went into the fridge to chill for a while, then into the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker .

Then the ice cream goes into little containers into the freezer.

I like to reuse soft plastic containers like the ones for sour cream or yogurt.

reusing AND being delicious

I would be all over this…

Sara does not like “sweet cheese” for some reason, so I am deprived cheese cakes, Danish, etc. all the time – there is NO WAY I’m getting her to try this one!
