Raspberry Cream Cheese Ice Cream

Okay, while my vanilla bean ice cream is insanely decadent and delicious, this ice cream ties for my favourite (so far) and perhaps is even more decadent. The flavours are so rich, yet perfectly smooth and creamy in your mouth. If you own an ice cream maker, you HAVE to try this recipe. This could easily be made into any other cream cheese fruit combo, or as plain vanilla, too. Enjoy!

Raspberry Cream Cheese Ice Cream

• 8 oz cream cheese, very soft
• 2/3 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup half & half cream
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
• pinch of salt
• Strained Raspberry Sauce

1. Mix together all ingredients, except for raspberry sauce, until smooth. Place in a covered container in fridge for 1-24 hours.
2. Make sure ice cream maker bowl is good and frozen. Remove mixture from fridge and quickly stir. Turn ice cream maker on and slowly pour mixture into bowl. Add raspberry sauce.
3. Allow mixture to cream/freeze for 20-25 minutes, or however long your machine takes to make the mixture thick and creamy.
4. Serve, enjoy and thank me later. Oh - and this freezes perfectly in an air tight container (but good luck having leftovers!).
