By Unicorn1259

Ingredients

• Graham Cracker Crumble:
• 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 5 crackers)
• 1/2 tablespoon sugar
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• Ice Cream:
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup half-and-half
• 2/3 cup sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup red jelly (strawberry, raspberry or currant), warmed in the microwave until melted
• 1/2 cup frozen berries

Preparation

Step 1

1. For the Ice Cream: Place the lemon zest in a food processor or blender.

2. Cut the cream cheese into small pieces, and add it to the lemon zest. Then add the sour cream, half-and-half, sugar and salt. Blend until smooth.

3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover it, and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

4. For the Graham Cracker Crumble: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter until moistened. Transfer to a 9-inch springform pan, pie plate or cake pan. Press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan. (Don’t worry if they don’t cover the entire bottom of the pan.) Bake for 7 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Using a fork, gently break the crust into small crumbs. Set aside.

5. Once the ice cream mixture has chilled for at least 4 hours, freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. During the last few minutes of churning, add about 1/4 cup of Graham Cracker Crumble.

6. As you transfer the ice cream from the machine to a freezer-safe container, place half of the ice cream into the container. Sprinkle half of the frozen berries onto the ice cream, followed by a few spoonfuls of melted jelly to create a thin layer over the ice cream. (Do not stir.) Then spoon the rest of the ice cream over the jelly. Sprinkle the remaining berries on the top and a few spoonfuls of Graham Cracker Crumble. Place a layer of plastic wrap over the ice cream, fasten a lid on the container, and place the container in the freezer for at least 4 hours before serving.

7. To serve, top the ice cream with any remaining Graham Cracker Crumble. Or, make a topping for the ice cream by warming the leftover jelly in the microwave and tossing your remaining berries in the jelly until well mixed.
