Raspberry Cheesecake Icecream

 

Turning some lovely Raspberries into some Cheesecake Ice Cream in lazy-style [No cooking and no Eggs].

Ingredients 

For Raspberry Sauce

* Raspberry - 3 cups

* Brandy - 1 tbsp [Optional]

* Sugar - 1/4 cup

For Ice Cream

* Heavy Whipping Cream - 350 ml [cold]

* Cream Cheese - 200 gms [At room temperature]

* Sugar - 3/4 cup

* Raspberry sauce - 1 cup [At room temperature]

* Vanilla extract - 1 tsp

Note

* The Cream Cheese is preferred to be at room temperature as it would help in incorporating with other ingredients.

* The Sugar and Raspberry Sauce component can be increased or reduced as per your interest. I kept some sauce aside to add while serving.

* Personally, I used Organic Raspberries, heavy Whipping Cream [more than 30% fat] and Cream Cheese.

Cooking

For Raspberry Sauce

1. In a saucepan, add the washed and drained Raspberries, Sugar and Brandy. Keep the saucepan on medium heat on a Stove and keep whisking. Smash the raspberries while mixing to form a thick sauce.

2. After 7-10 mins, the Raspberries would have become soft and form a thick sauce. Remove the saucepan from heat and separate the sauce from the seeds using a fine sieve. 

3. Let the sauce cool down to room temperature. This can be made ahead and frozen for future use.

For Ice Cream

1. In a large bowl, add the Cream Cheese, Whipping Cream, Sugar, Vanilla extract and Raspberry sauce. Using a whisk, mix slowly initially in order to mix all the ingredients.

2. Whisk for about 4-5 mins until the mixture is mixed well and the Cream gets whipped to form a fluffy texture [If using a hand-held mixer, the time taken to whip would be lesser].

3. Cover the bowl and freeze for about 3-4 hours.

4. Make sure to remove the bowl from the freezer at least 20-30 mins ahead in case it is too hard to be scooped.

Usually when nobody is watching or NOT, I eat messy; So, I slopped some onto a platter before it even set properly [impatient me], sprinkled [read threw] some Raspberries and splattered [yes you read it right] some sauce and gobbled them up.
