Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

If you’re a fan of 2-ingredient ice cream, you’re going to looooooove this. And even if you’re not, I think you’ll want to give this recipe a try.

For starters, the cheesecake ice cream “base” is unreal. The most common way of making 2-ingredient ice cream involves mixing together a can of sweetened condensed milk and 2 cups of whipped cream (or, for us lazies, cool whip). To create a (spot on, by the way) cheesecake taste, I also added cream cheese, butter, lemon juice, and vanilla.

I wanted to create a graham cracker crust swirl, obviously. But, it seems, graham crackers no longer reside in my pantry. Fortunately, Golden Oreos do.

Oh. yes. I. did.

Instead of grahams, there is a fabulous swirl of Golden Oreo crust in the Cheesecake ice cream. And it only gets better from here…

Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream | The only thing better than how it tastes is how EASY it is to make! #icecream #cheesecake #recipe

The coup de grรขce to this whole ice cream scene is Lucky Leaf Strawberry Pie Filling. And ohmygosh, ittastessooooooooogoooood!

Seriously. And it’s ridiculously compatible with ice cream. ….like, maybe even more so than with pie.

Yeah. I went there.

But really– that strawberry pie filling is the perfect consistency to freeze. It doesn’t get all ice-y (like my homemade sauce would if it were frozen in ice cream). Instead, it’s still a perfectly decadent and gooey consistency when frozen. So you won’t be chipping away at it with the ice cream scoop, and it’s not breaking any teeth when you try to eat it. Plus– since it’s canned, it’s already at room temperature, so it’s ready to go into the ice cream when you’re ready for it to go in!

Moral of the story: if you’re looking for a creamy and decadent ice cream to serve up to all of your sweeties this Valentine’s day (or any day!), this is it โ™ฅ.

Strawberry Cheesecake Easy Ice Cream

Ingredients

  • 1 - 14.5 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 - 8 oz. tub Cool Whip
  • 1 - 8 oz brick of cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 15 Golden Oreos (approximately half of a package)
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 - 21 oz can Lucky Leaf Strawberry Pie filling

Instructions

  1. Use a hand mixer to beat together the sweetened condensed milk, cool whip, cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth. Set aside.
  2. In a food processor (or using whatever crushing method you prefer), process the Golden Oreos and 1/4 cup butter together until crumbly (should clump together though).
  3. Dump the crust "clumps" into the middle of the ice cream batter, don't stir.
  4. Pour the Lucky Leaf Strawberry Pie Filling over the crust "clumps." Use a large rubber spatula to gently fold the filling and crust into the ice cream batter. You should only need to use 2-3 strokes. You want swirls, and it's easy to over mix and combine everything instead if you're not careful.
  5. Pour mixture (this will mix it up a little bit more too) into a standard loaf pan and freeze for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).

Notes about this Recipe:

  • Don’t over mix, don’t over mix, don’t over mix!
  • You could substitute graham crackers for the Oreos, but I don’t have a measurement to suggest. Just eyeball it– a little too much or too little won’t ruin it at all.

My friends over at Lucky Leaf, who so generously provided me with samples of their pie fillings (and super cute baking-ware) to play with, want to send you some cute and yummy stuff too (shown below)!

    • This recipe serves 6-8, depending on how much each person eats ๐Ÿ™‚ I wouldn’t recommend a 9×13 pan unless you’re at least doubling the recipe, I’m afraid it might get too hard. But I’ve frozen this kind of ice cream in tupperware before, and that worked fine, as long as it wasn’t too shallow!

  36. I would like to make this ice cream, but I am not a fan of Cool whip- has anyone done it with whipped cream- just wondering if it will work the same???

  37. OMG! I’m definitely going to try this soon. Do you have any other easy ice cream recipes you can send my way? I think Mother’s Day will be the perfect reason to make this (for myself, of course), but I’d love to have something everyone else in my house that doesn’t like strawberries might also enjoy.

  38. I’m not a fan of strawberry but I imagine this would be AH-MAZ-ING with any Lucky Leaf pie filling. Holy deliciousness!

  39. Made this today using 2 cups of fresh, unsweetened whipped cream (just not coolwhip fan), no lemon juice (I was out) & crushed Pepperidge Farms Shortbread cookies. It was amazing!!! Thanks for an easy recipe w/o all the junk in store bought ice cream!

  40. This is amazing. I used strawberry cream pie filling because the store I frequent was out of the plain strawberry. Tastes absolutely wonderful. No more driving to DQ to get the strawberry cheese quake blizzard………love, love, love this!

  41. I made this over night for the 4th of July, had to try it first this morning, it is devine!!! I’ve been looking for an easy strawberry cheesecake ice cream recipe for a while, thanks so much for this one! Was thinking you could also use 1/2 strawberry pie filling & 1/2 blueberry pie filling for red, white & blue. And I bet this would also make an awesome ice cream cake or ice cream sandwiches!

    Reply
  42. Having no ice cream maker, this caught my eye… along with the words “strawberry” and “cheesecake”. =D Made about 2 weeks ago and just finished it up a couple nights ago. DELICIOUS and easy!! I plan to try it with cherry sometime in the future. Thank you!

    Reply
  43. Anyone that hasn’t tried this yet…do it!! OMG, BEST ice cream ever!! Only thing I did differently was to use choc oreos. Gonna try it with choc covered graham crackers next time. Seriously, I don’t think I will ever buy ice cream again!

    Reply
  44. I just made this last night. OH MY GOSH! This is the best thing I have ever eaten. I didn’t let it sit that long before we ate it. It was soft and creamy. We just had more. It was frozen. I like it better soft. Could eat it all by myself. Next time I’m going to make blueberry. One question though. How can I make apple pie or pumpkin? Would eat this over real ice cream any day. I just found your site, and I love it. The best I have been to so far. Love it.
