Absolutely delicious!!!! I just purchased the cuisineart ice cream maker and this recipe was my first choice!!!!! It was the perfect choice for my first time trying to make ice cream! My husband and daughters raved about it and wanted more. If you like strawberry cheesecake and or want to impress your guests....definitely try this one! After mixing and before chilling for the hour, I added extra mini chunks of the frozen strawberries! Creamy, fruity and Yummy!!

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.

Awesome!!!!! Cant even express how yummy. Satisfied my pregnancy craving for something sweet and i happened to have everything in my fridge!! I did add a swirl of grahm cracker crumbs at the end and upped the cream to 1 1/2 cups. Thank you!! ps. i would recommend cutting the cream cheese in half. i felt it was just a little too much for such a small amount of ice cream.

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.

I made a couple of substitutions. I used pureed and sieved defrosted raspberries instead of strawberries, and whipping cream instead of half and half. I used 1/4 cup sugar too. I found the cheese flavour to be definitely noticeable, and I don't know if my substitutions emphasized the cheese flavour or not. Absolutely delicious!
