Basic steps to make Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

1. Prepare the Ice Cream Base

For a No-Cook Base: Combine heavy cream, milk, sugar, and flavorings in a bowl, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
For a Custard Base: Heat milk and sugar until warm. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, then gradually add the warm milk mixture, stirring constantly. Return the mixture to the heat and cook until thickened. Cool the mixture before churning.

2. Chill the Base

Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 to 4 hours, or overnight, to ensure it’s very cold. This helps in achieving a smoother texture.

3. Prepare the Ice Cream Maker

If using a pre-freezer bowl, ensure it has been frozen for at least 24 hours. If your machine has a built-in compressor, no pre-freezing is necessary.

4. Churn the Ice Cream

Pour the chilled mixture into the ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding churning time (typically 20-40 minutes).
Keep an eye on the machine as it churns. The mixture should thicken and increase in volume.

5. Add Mix-ins (optional)

In the last few minutes of churning, you can add mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit pieces.

6. Freeze the Ice Cream

Once churning is complete, transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for a few hours to firm up the texture.

7. Serve Ice Cream

Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving.
