This recipe is very good and pretty inexpensive. Sometimes when making homemade ice cream you wonder is it really worth making when you can buy ice cream cheaper. But, since this recipe doesn't require tons of heavy cream, eggs which I always switch to the egg subsitute, and tons of milk you can actually afford to do it without having to sucome to the entertainment/family tradition factor as reasons why to make homemade ice cream. Also using up lots of the strawberries was great for me since I bought way too many! This recipe looks like you could make it low carb easy by subsituting splenda for the sugar and instead of the half and half use heavy cream. I think I might try those subsitutions for my diabetic mom.

This was incredible!! Made this tonight for me and DH. We loved it. I should have blended the ingredients better before freezing it, though--I had chunks of cream cheese in the ice cream. It wasn't BAD, just not smooth. A word to those who might be bothered by this--make the mixture very smooth before freezing. Thanks for this recipe, Dee--our first ice cream of the season!

Nice, creamy ice cream, just as all the other reviews have said. Something a little different than the standard strawberry ice cream. I microwaved the cream cheese for 15 seconds before mixing it in, to ensure that it would be soft and would blend smoothly. Thanks for posting this!

I have made this twice now - love it. The fresh stawberry flavor pops out and the cheesecake flavor is subtle and nice. First time just like the recipe except I used fat free half & half and added some fresh slices of strawberry ( didn't care for the frozen strawberries in the ice cream). Second time I made this with fat free half & half and fat free cream cheese - still very good but you lose the cheesecake flavor that is so good in the original recipe. Next time I am going to make this with some real half and half and regular cream cheese and put the soft ice cream from the machine into a cooked graham cracker crust and serve it like cheese cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream on top.

This is an excellent ice cream. Smooth, creamy and quite delicious! The taste is just like strawberry cheesecake (without the graham cracker crust) ; ). I made this in my Cusinart Ice Cream Machine eliminating the 1 hour chill time. It was ready in just 27 minutes. This was my first attempt at using my new ice cream machine and the results were very successful ~ I am very pleased! Dee, I will be making this again! Thanks so much for a wonderful and easy recipe!

EXCELLENT. I just realized I probably used about 12 ounces of cream cheese, oops, and I used almond extract instead of vanilla, but mmmm-mmmmm, it was good! Very creamy.. next time I will throw in some chunks of strawberry along with the strawberry puree.

Yummo, delicious! There was the cheese cake and the strawberries, but where was the graham cracker bottom? Some graham cracker chunks crumbled into the ice cream could make a difference. I am not sure if the chunks would survive the ice cream maker without turning to bread crumbs, but I will try.

I am in cheesecake heaven... however i wanted graham crackers too.. so i did it two different way... got some graham crackers crumbs... the first time i scopped out a scoop & rolled it in the crumbs... the second time i spooned some as a topping... just what it needed.... it was gone in no time...

This was very good. I used reduced fat cream cheese, 1/3 cup of Splenda for the sugar and increased the vanilla to 1 teaspoon. I also used fat free half-and half. Everyone enjoyed and had no idea it was reduced fat.
