Inspired by my time researching my cookbook The Desserts of New York, where the best cheesecakes can be found. I’ve given it a fresh twist with macerated raspberries.
Ingredients
- 250 g cream cheese, softened
- 250 ml (1 cup) thin cream
- 185 ml (¾ cup) milk
- 220 g (1 cup) caster sugar
- pinch fine salt
- 250 g raspberries
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- ½ lemon, juice
Freezing time: 4.5 hours
Instructions
- Place the cream cheese, cream, milk, sugar and salt in a food processor and blend until smooth. Churn in an ice-cream machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions, then transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 4 hours or until frozen.
- When nearly ready to serve, place the raspberries, icing sugar and lemon juice in a bowl and toss to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
- To serve, scoop the ice–cream into chilled bowls and spoon the raspberries and any syrup over the top.
