No Churn Lemon Cheesecake Ice Cream

My whole family agrees – this is the best Ice Cream I have ever made. Sweet-tangy and deliciously creamy is this Lemon Cheesecake Ice Cream. No need for an ice cream maker!

 

Lemon Ice Cream

 

This post was meant to be published last month when the blazing summer sun was in all its glory. However, since we were on a holiday break certain adjustments had to be made.

Since we regularly feature photographic travel journals in the blog as well, I decided to devote the month of  August to that and I think it worked out well as I managed to actually finish all the travel posts pretty much within the time frame. Hurrah!!! If you wish to see these posts, you can find them here.

 

 

But technically summer is not over yet and it still quite warm in the afternoon even in September so this ice cream post is still perfectly on time. Besides, we can always find an excuse for ice cream, right?

Who doesn’t eat ice cream in the middle of winter? My family still does – there’s always a tub in the freezer for some sweet cravings that only a delicious ice cream can satisfy!

And truly, if I may say so – this ice cream is delicious! I have made a few ice cream recipes before (about 8 – including frozen yogurts – more or less) so my family has had a good taste of all my creations.

While the others are equally delectable in my opinion, for my family this one stands out as simply the best. Perhaps because when you have this ice cream it’s like eating your favorite cheesecake only in ice cream form!

 

 

You see my family is big on cheesecake – again I have many recipes of cheesecake on the blog as proof. Also, the ice cream has that perfect contrast of flavors which makes it truly delightful. With one mouthful you taste sweetness, a hint of tang, and then that creamy, smooth cheesy flavor from the cream cheese.

 

 

So, why not celebrate the last days of summer with this scrumptious and super-easy to make No-Churn Lemon Cheesecake Ice Cream!

    Rich, thick and creamy lemon cheesecake flavor. Am I wrong? This looks so delicious I can hardly wait to try it! Coincidentally I made vanilla bean ice cream today. I think your lemon cheesecake ice cream would be outstanding on a ice cream cone! That flavor stands alone!

    You and I are on the same better-late-than-never schedule. (I just posted an ice cream too, java chip.) I'm a huge fan of lemon curd, lemon ice and now I'll add lemon ice cream to the list. This looks amazing. Can't wait to try it.

    I love cheesecake, but not a fan of lemon. Could you use other fruit instead?
