Cheesecake Ice Cream

Have all of the creamy goodness of cheesecake without turning on the oven in this blazing heat. Everyone declared this the new favorite ice cream of our household. I will make this again and again, it is so good and way easier than baking a cheesecake. I started with vanilla and I plan to experiment with some of my other cheesecake favorites, wouldn’t a strawberry swirl be wonderful, or chocolate with caramel…..I guess I could go on and on. This is super easy, no eggs, so you don’t have to cook it or worry about eating raw eggs. You have to try this, it’s so easy and a real crowd pleaser!
