Chef Keith's Corner

Strawberry Creole Cream Cheese Ice Cream

PREP TIME: 2 Hours

MAKES: 1 Quart

* 1 package Creole Cream Cheese
* 3/4 cup finely diced fresh strawberries
* 11/2 cups sugar
* 3 eggs
* 11/2 cups half and half
* 11/2 cups heavy whipping cream
* 2 tbsp. vanilla
* 1/8 tsps cinnamon
* 1/8 tsps nutmeg

METHOD:

In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar and eggs. Whisk until fluffy and pale yellow in color. In a saucepot, combine half-and-half and cream. Bring to simmer but do not boil. Remove milk from heat and slowly blend one ladle at a time into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to keep eggs from scrambling. Continue blending until all is incorporated. Add vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve and chill overnight or a minimum of four hours. When ready to use, thoroughly blend the Creole cream cheese and strawberries into the custard mixture and whisk until all lumps are removed. Pour mixture into a home-style ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions. Place ice cream in the freezer or allow it to temper 2 hours prior to serving.
