Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped strawberries with the cornstarch and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir gently. Then allow the strawberries to macerate, or soften, in the juices for at least 2 hours in the fridge.
  • Strain the berries, reserving or setting aside the juices.
  • Mash or purée half the berries and set aside; also set aside the rest of the un-mashed berries.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, and milk 'til the sugar dissolves.
  • Whisk in the heavy cream, reserved strawberry juice, mashed strawberries, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
  • Turn on the ice cream freezer, and pour the mixture into the pre-frozen freezer bowl* with the churn paddle in place.
  • Place the cover on top, and let the mixture freeze 'til it thickens, about 20-25 minutes.
  • About 2-3 minutes before the freezing is completed (the ice cream should have a soft creamy texture), spoon the rest of the un-mashed strawberries, along with the graham crackers, into the ice cream, and let everything mix in completely. Your ice cream maker will be very full at this point.
  • Once everything is swirled into the ice cream, it's ready, and you can turn off the machine. Then scoop the soft-serve ice cream into an airtight container, and place it in the freezer for 3-4 hours, or overnight, to firm up more. Serve when ready.

Notes

*Before you start to mix the ice cream, be sure you’ve pre-frozen the ice cream canister that goes with your ice cream maker; if you don’t, your ice cream won’t freeze.
