Cheesecake Ice Cream

  • 6 ounces cream cheese, preferably preservative-free, softened but still cool

  • 3/4 cup superfine sugar

  • 1 cup cold sour cream

  • 1 cup cold heavy cream

  • Pinch of coarse (kosher) salt

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • In a bowl, beat the cream cheese at medium speed until soft and smooth. Gradually add the sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the sour cream and then the heavy cream. Add the salt, lemon juice, vanilla and beat the mixture just until thick and smooth. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or until very cold.

  • Beat the cold ice cream mixture until loose and creamy, about 3 minutes. Pour into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serve immediately, or pack the ice cream into a covered container and freeze for up to 24 hours. Allow the ice cream to soften in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
