Sweet and creamy Berry cheesecake ice cream, swirled with raspberry preserves and fresh raspberries. This Easy Homemade Ice Cream recipe is ready in just under 30 minutes! It's perfect to serve on Valentine's Day or any time of the year! If you're feeling extra naughty, drizzle with salted caramel sauce!
Raspberries are one of my daughter's favorite fruit. So when she asked me to make her some "fruity" ice cream, I knew I had to include them. I also knew she wanted it NOW, so I didn't want to mess around with making an egg-based/custard ice cream.
Nena loves cheesecake, so I decided to incorporate some cream cheese into the recipe. To kick up the sweetness, I included some raspberry preserves.
By taking a basic vanilla ice cream recipe, and adding these mix-ins, I was able to create this delicious cheesecake-flavored ice cream recipe that my daughter loved!

😍 Why This Recipe Works
I just love this recipe! Think of it as a mix of cheesecake, ice cream, raspberry preserves, and a blend of fresh raspberries. However, the recipe is also quite easy to play with and make your own.
Instead of raspberries, try adding Strawberry Fig Preserves, Mulberry Jam, or your favorite preserves and fresh berries.
If you're trying to eat healthier, it doesn't mean you have to deprive yourself. It's all about moderation, which is why a single serving is ½ a cup.

Step 3: After ten minutes, add the fresh raspberries, a few at a time.
Step 4: After five additional minutes, add the preserves one tablespoon at a time. Churn for five additional minutes. You might have to help the preserves mix in by pushing it down with a spoon.
Step 5: If you prefer the ice cream firmer, transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for a few hours, or until the desired results are achieved. Otherwise, enjoy your Berry Cheesecake Ice Cream soft-serve style!
🤷🏻♀️ Recipe FAQs
Yes, you don't need eggs to make ice cream. Although eggs do add a richness that's hard to duplicate, when you're looking for an egg-free ice cream recipe, you have plenty of recipes to choose from, including this one. You'll never even miss the eggs with this decadent Cheesecake Ice Cream recipe.
It really depends on the recipe, but the common ingredients are cream cheese, strawberries (fresh or as a sauce or preserves), heavy cream, half and half, sugar, or sweetened condensed milk).
👩🏼🍳 Pro Tips
- I love to serve this ice cream with Chocolate Mug Cake, which has hints of coffee and cardamom. Although the mug cake can be served on its own, I recommend serving it topped with this delicious homemade Ice Cream.
- You can also serve this Berry Cheesecake Ice Cream with Salted Caramel Sauce.
- If you are a nut-lover like I am, add some chopped pistachios or walnuts. But my absolute favorite ice cream mix-in or topping has to be toffee. So, how about you, what's your favorite ice cream mix-in?
