New York Cheesecake ice cream recipe
Please note: this recipe requires an ice cream machine to make.
Thick, creamy, lemon cheesecake makes a fabulous ice cream mixture, especially with a swirl of buttery digestive biscuit crumbs to echo the texture of a cheesecake base.

Step-by-step
- Beat together all the ingredients, except the butter and digestive biscuit crumbs, until smooth. Taste and add more sugar if you prefer it sweeter.
- Pour into an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s freezing directions. Churn the ice cream for about 30 minutes or until nearly firm.
- Meanwhile, mix the melted butter and crumbs together thoroughly. Allow to cool.
- When the ice cream is nearly firm, tip into a freezer container, add the crumbs and stir just once or twice, to swirl or ripple rather than mix evenly. Freeze until firm or ready to serve.
- Store in the freezer for up to 3 months; take out 15 minutes before serving to soften. Serve with the extra lemon zest.
