Caramel Cheesecake Ice Cream
Caramel cheesecake ice cream is a creamy homemade no-churn ice cream swirled with layers of caramelized white chocolate (or caramel) and graham crackers.
Errrrhhhmerrrgerrrd YA’LL!!! Caramel cheesecake ice cream…’nuff said. Ok, I don’t know if you all remember but my husband never really had a sweet tooth & he’s always my biggest critic. BUT guess who said “this is probably the best thing you’ve ever made”?! Yeah…that guy. He also doesn’t really like ice cream in general unless it’s soft serve, because “it’s not as creamy” but this ice cream…totally creamy. That means you all need to try this caramel cheesecake ice cream like ASAP!
What Makes This Ice Cream So GOOD?!
I’ll tell you! It’s the cream cheese I added to the base. Making ice cream out of heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk is great and easy. But adding cream cheese gives it a little more substance. It still leaves it superrrr creammmyyyy, while also giving it a little tang, balancing out the sweetness.
Also, let’s be real, I used caramelized white chocolate because I’m an addict but you can use regular caramel if you prefer. Or even butterscotch, peanut butter, cookie butter. Ok, I’ve given you too many ideas, I need to save these for future blog posts LOL.
If you do love caramelized white chocolate as much as I do, check out my caramelized white chocolate ganache recipe or my caramelized white chocolate cinnamon rolls…or both!
How To Make Homemade No-Churn Ice Cream
Easy peasy. I feel like I say everything is easy to make but for real, homemade ice cream is like the EASIEST. Totally not exaggerating. You literally just beat heavy cream to stiff peaks, mix it with sweetened condensed milk, flavor it and then freeze it.
What you’ll need
- heavy whipping cream – makes it light and fluffy
- sweetened condensed milk – sweetens and makes it creamy
- cream cheese – this is the game changer here, cream cheese gives it a super creamy texture.
- graham crackers – for the cheesecake flavor and a little crunchy texture.
- caramelized white chocolate or caramel – you can never go wrong with swirls of caramel or caramelized white chocolate.

I think this recipe would be amazing if you actually followed the recipe… unlike me. I had slightly burnt a batch of caramel and thought it would be pretty good in some ice cream. But in my haste to use up ALL the screwed up caramel, I put WAY to much in, so it ended up just being a muddy brown ice cream that just tasted like overdone caramel. Moral of the story- follow the recipe and don’t burn your caramel.
