Ingredients

Cheesecake Ice Cream Base

2 cups raw whole milk
1 cup cream raw or cream from the top of a can of chilled coconut milk
8 ounces organic cream cheese like Nancy's brand
4 organic or pastured egg yolks
4 to 5 doonks powdered stevia extract (each doonk is 1/32nd teaspoon)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
pinch sea salt

Blackberry Swirl

1 1/2 cups blackberries fresh
2 tablespoons pure water
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/32 teaspoon powdered stevia extract

Instructions

Make the ice cream...

Combine all ingredients for the Cheesecake Ice Cream Base in a blender, such as a Vitamix.
Process until combined.
Pour into your ice cream maker.
Run according to manufacturer's instructions.

While the ice cream is mixing, make the Blackberry Swirl...

Place fresh blackberries, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Bring to a simmer while smashing the berries.
Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced and thickened considerably.
Remove from the heat.
Add stevia and stir.
You can puree the blackberry sauce before adding to the ice cream, or leave it slightly chunky. I like to puree mine.

Swirl it...

Once your ice cream is finished, simply pour the blackberry sauce straight into the ice cream.
Gently fold to combine, leaving streaks of white and purple for a lovely swirl.
Enjoy!

Recipe Notes
