Sweet Blackberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

Sweet Blackberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

My mother visits me from time to time.  She doesn’t live in Buenos Aires, so she stays at my place a lot when she’s in town, and of course our personalities are put to the test, to say the least, though mine much more than hers. She has, like most mothers, a visceral endurance when it comes to her children’s quirks/obsessions/intolerances/lack of patience/dubious humor/crappy awakenings.

So I’m learning to just let go of the little things, as much as my genetic coding allows. I will get to the sweet blackberry cheesecake ice cream recipe, don’t worry. I made it especially for her.
Sweet Blackberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
Take the last time she was here.

Not long after waking up, she started looking for a pair of socks, already in a crappy mood (hers) because she had a pimple (I admit it was getting quite big and as a woman she resented it ferociously) that just wanted to keep on growing. Yes a pimple, so superficial I know, but think of it as a symbolism if you want.

Anyway, the pair of red socks was nowhere to be found. I had heard her talking to herself while wandering around the house looking for them, and this was very out of place with my usual just me and my coffee mornings, which I love, so I got up and thought that two pairs of eyes would find the goddamn pair of red socks in no time. I mean, bright red, how can they get lost so easily.

I started looking at the obvious places, like inside the fridge, her purse, my bedroom… bright red socks she hadn’t been able to find for the last twenty minutes where not on the pile of clothes in the chair or beside her bed, that was a given. But suddenly, all the odd places covered in the search, there really was nowhere else to look for them.

So I casually said, ‘maybe you put them in your pocket or something’. When she looked down at her pant’s pockets, a red thread peaked out, from inside her shoes. She was wearing them. That’s my mom.
So the only thing to do was go into the kitchen and make her something rich and decadent.We still have many years together ahead of us, and I don’t see it getting any less ridiculous.
Sweet Blackberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
Do you like cheesecake? Blackberries?
This ice cream is as easy as reading the title, the only downside is waiting before churning, and then after. But if you shove the mixture into popsicle molds, oh! sweet summer blackberry cheesecake ice cream paletas in almost not time.
No bake cheesecake is a snap to prepare, and this is exactly that, with added berries that are first cooked with a tiny bit of light brown sugar. And quite perfect for summer, since it solidifies a lot. So it will hold up to the heat better than others, like the tangerine cointreau sorbet for instance.

Sweet Blackberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

Yield 3-4 servings

This ice cream freezes rock hard, so keep that in mind when taking it out.

Ingredients

For the blackberries:

  • 1 cup blackberries, fresh or frozen
  • 2 Tbs light brown sugar
  • 2-3 Tbs water

For the cheesecake ice cream base:

  • 8oz (220g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup cream
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • Zest of ½ orange
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

For the blackberries:

  1. In a saucepan heat all ingredients over low heat. Stir frequently until it boils. Reduce for a minute or two and remove from the heat.
  2. Transfer to a shallow container, mash berries with a fork or spoon and refrigerate.
  3. If making this the same day you churn the ice cream base, then freeze it  while making the base. It will be cold enough when you add it.

For the cheesecake ice cream base:

  1. In a bowl beat cream cheese, cream and sugar just until smooth.
  2. Add zest, vanilla and salt.
  3. Combine, transfer to a container with a lid, or bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until very cold, 6 to 8 hours or overnight.
  4. Churn according to manufacturer's directions.
  5. Transfer to a freezer-proof container, add blackberry mixture, swirl a few times, cover and freeze until solid.

    Oh my goodness, your photos make me want to make ice cream right now, Paula! This is a keeper recipe..I'm trusting this will work with raspberries and blueberries as well. Thank you for this post.

    P.s. Regarding the mom bit…I'm afraid I can relate to missing items such as red socks already being on my person…Happens sometimes with aging. But, I'm affirming my spirit is ageless <3

    I just baked with blackberries today. They are my favorite fruit and this ice cream sounds heavenly. As much as I love my mom, I can totally relate to getting frustrated with her sometimes. I think that's just how the relationship between mothers and daughters works.

    Oh Paula, this is such a funny story! I love moments that seem ridiculously frustrating, but then you can look back upon them and laugh. My mother and I haven't lived together for years (as our houses are nearby, so there's no need to sleep over) but we still have funny moments like this. She's a much stronger personality than I, tenacious and resilient. Makes for fun conversations! This blackberry ice cream looks incredible. Blackberries plus cheesecake? Heaven. Definitely making this come summertime. My husband is a cheesecake fiend, so he'd love it. Thanks beautiful! xx

I don't have popsicle molds but might get some to try this – we have a friend whose roots are Chilean and her favorite dessert is paletas… it would be fun to make this for her. ~ David

    Paula, I adore this post. I laughed so hard when I read that your mom was wearing the socks. This reminds me of a time when a friend was going insane looking for her glasses and it turns out they were on the top of her head. I know what you mean – I love my parents but oh good God, they can drive me insane. Now that I know how glorious it is to live on my own, I don't think I could ever live with my parents again! Of course, your beautiful, creamy, luscious ice cream would make anything bearable. Your photos and styling are gorgeous here, Paula. I wish I had a giant bowl of this right now!

    Paula, cream cheese and blackberries are a wonderful taste combination – I really like the idea of making an ice cream with no egg yolks involved and this recipe sounds like it has just the right "tang" to it, not too sweet – just the way I like my ice creams! Homemade ice cream is just the best!

    Incredibly nice recipe! One of the nice things about making your own ice cream is you have total control over ingredients and flavors. And can create things like this, that you never find in stores. Really good stuff – thanks so much.

    That ice cream looks fabulicious. I haven't made ice cream this year in my cute little Cuisinart so this may be the recipe for me. This Post about your Mother made me feel so, so, so, good. I hate to be happy at your Mother's expense but, as you know, after reading my Duck/Peaches Post, I've been a bit flaky lately. Compared to your Mother, I am downright sane and have emerged and am really thriving after this past year of mourning, I guess. I'm fine. Paula, hang in there. I'm sure Melissa (my daughter) would commiserate with you and share your daughterly pain. Love you.

    I just made this and it was way too thick to be made in the ice cream maker. I thought it was going to break it. Are you sure it is just 2/3 cup cream?

      Hi Mary! Yes, the measure is right, I made it as in the recipe. My batch hardened a lot in the freezer but not before. I checked with the original recipe and can't find what might have been. I will make it again and check it.
