My mom grows raspberries in her garden. She always gives some of them away since she is not able to eat all the berries that the plants produce. The other night when she offered me some raspberries I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them.
I found a recipe for strawberry cheesecake ice cream at kraftrecipes.com and I have not been able to get it out of mind. I knew these raspberries would make a great substitute for the strawberries. I love homemade ice cream and have eaten it when my sister and brother have made it. They are both lucky enough to have in their possession an ice cream maker, something that I don't have. One of the reasons that this recipe caught my eye is because you don't need an ice cream maker, how great is that.
The recipe is a little time consuming but the end result is amazing. The ice cream turned out to be this delicious sweet yummy creamy ice cream. The raspberries were perfect, I am sure if you want to use the strawberries as in the original recipe that would be great too. So you don't have an ice cream maker and you love the taste of homemade ice cream this is one ice cream you will have to try. Even if you have an ice cream maker I would recommend making this one, it's absolutely to die for. I may sound a little over board on this ice cream, but really it is that tasty!

Raspberries are really pricy over here and at this time of year you can only get the frozen one.
ReplyDeleteI am green with envy that you can enjoy fresh raspberries in September.
Oh, my that is some nice looking ice cream you have there...I do have an ice cream maker and I think I can adjust this to work in that so you can bet that I am going to try this, maybe yet tonight so I can have it tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe! Cream and raspberries, what is not to love about that??? Indeed.
ReplyDeleteOh gee, I can use some of this right now!
ReplyDeleteYour photo is playng with my taste buds.
Thanks for that, and the pretty colors.
My daughter was shocked to see the photo actually, of her mom in her dress. But she soon got over it.
Wow, raspberries and cream cheese looks great together in the form of ice cream... I would love a few scoops, please.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmm... I've always loved raspberry ice cream, but this recipe looks like it would take it over the top. Yum!
ReplyDeletemmmm, my family loved the cheesecake ice cream that I made earlier this year. Your raspberry version sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious! It doesn't even have eggs, just perfect! super yummy recipe!
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog for a while now, but just recently decided to start one myself and comment :)
I just wanted to let you know that I really like yours, all your recipes look scrumptious :)
What an interesting recipe! Love the flavors. I'll bet blueberries would be another option, although the raspberries look so great I can't imagine why I'd substitute! Good stuff - thanks.
ReplyDeleteI would just love to grow my own raspberries... Here in Australia they are so exorbitantly expensive (like $8AUD for a small 1/2 cup punnet of fresh raspberries) so jealous of home grown ones! and for free! hehe. I really *love* the ben and jerry's strawberry cheesecake ice cream so this is right up my alley. looks sooo good!
