Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

Ice cream, made from a custard with eggs, is my favorite ice cream recipe. I love the richness and creaminess of the end product. Adding cream cheese to the custard is pure genius! A puree of fresh strawberries was used to flavor this cream cheese custard, as a perfect summer flavor. I also baked a cheesecake crust, on a 1/4 sheet pan, and added the bits of crust to the churned ice cream. This captures the perfect sweetness of cheesecake, with a little added crunch from the graham crackers. This flavor is a sure winner, if I do say so myself.
