This is actually one of the very first ice cream recipes I ever made! One of the first recipes on my blog, I’m redoing it and resharing it (cause back then no one read my blog, and you all need this recipe in your life). It totally tastes like cheesecake, and you guys know I love a good cheesecake. So grab your favorite Ice Cream Maker and give cheesecake ice cream a whirl!

It’s great plain, with another dessert, OR my favorite, inside a waffle cone bowl and topped with cherry pie topping and crushed graham cracker crumble. Mmmmm Seriously so good! Any topping you add to cheesecake will tastes great with this ice cream. And it pairs so well with things like my flourless chocolate cake or perfect chocolate brownies and I LOVE it with my peanut butter cookies. It add’s a cheese tang to the desserts.

Even my husband, not a cheesecake fan, love this dessert, cause the flavor is there, but not too strong. Next time I’m going to skip the cherries and go straight to my Caramel Sauce. Maybe I’ll make little graham cracker pie shells too… Seriously the possibilities are endless!
