Ingredients

This is a no-cook, no-eggs mango cheesecake ice cream recipe. For a cheesecake ice cream, the base is made with cream cheese, heavy cream, milk, sugar, and salt.

The cream cheese must be at room temperature before you start making the mixture, else it can be difficult to blend if it is chilled.

The mango flavor comes from the mango pulp. I like to add the canned alphonso mango pulp to ensure the ice cream has a consistent taste every time. You can also add fresh mango pulp by blending mangoes using a hand blender and then straining the pulp to remove fiber.

It is best to add a little bit of sugar to the pulp to ensure the mango pulp tastes perfect in the frozen ice cream. Fruits can taste less sweet in frozen ice cream so adding a little bit helps preserve the taste.

A cheesecake ice cream would be incomplete without graham crackers. A graham cracker crumble is made by adding sugar and some butter to graham crackers.

How to make graham cracker crumble topping?

Crush a few graham crackers coarsely, either by hand or using a dry blender like Vitamix to make graham cracker crumble topping. Add some melted butter and sugar to make the graham cracker crumbs stick together.

To make a cheesecake ice cream, add some graham cracker crumble topping to the cream cheese ice cream when layering it in a container. The graham crackers give it the cheesecake taste and texture.

Instructions

Making mango cheesecake ice cream at home is very easy. This recipe is made by churning the ice cream in an ice cream maker.

Using a hand blender or a stand mixer, whip the cream cheese until it is smooth and fluffy. This can take a minute or two. Mix in the salt, sugar, and milk and continue blending until all the sugar has dissolved and everything is mixed well.

Add the heavy cream and mix well with the help of a spatula or a spoon, you do not want to whisk the mixture now as it will be churned. Refrigerate the cream cheese ice cream mixture for about 2-3 hours before churning it in the ice cream maker.

Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker bowl and churn the ice cream for about 25-30 minutes. The time may vary a little bit depending on the ice cream maker. It took me 30 minutes in my Cuisinart ICE-100 ice cream maker.

Once the cream cheese ice cream has been churned, it will be of soft-serve consistency and needs to be frozen before it is ready to eat. But before that, we will make the mango cheese cream ice cream with swirls and graham cracker crumble topping.

How to make swirl ice cream?

To make swirl ice cream, layer some crumbles in a freezer-safe container. Put some cream cheese ice cream and top it with mango pulp.

Gently swirl the mango pulp with the help of a spoon or spatula. If you add the pulp while churning then the mixture and fruit pulp will get mixed and the ice cream will not form swirls in it.

Also, to make a swirl cheesecake ice cream, it is best to add the graham cracker crumble topping after the ice cream is churned and not while it is churning.

You can add multiple layers of ice cream, mango pulp, and graham cracker crumble topping.

Can I make it gluten-free?

Absolutely! The only thing that makes this mango cheesecake ice cream with swirls not suitable for a gluten-free diet is the graham cracker crumble toppings. You can easily skip it completely and make the gluten-free version.

How to store homemade ice cream?

The best way to store homemade ice cream is to store it in freezer-safe containers with lids. Homemade ice cream stores well for up to a week without any added preservatives.
