No Churn Blackberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
No churn blackberry cheesecake ice cream is a dreamy, summery treat. Bursting with ribbons of sweet berry cheesecake, this homemade frozen dessert tastes just as good as any you’d get going out.
We love going for ice cream in the summer.
But with a big family, going out for dessert is simply too expensive to do it regularly.
This doesn’t mean we can’t treat ourselves though!
We love to make all kinds of homemade ice cream to keep us cool and treat us to the good stuff all summer long/
And trust me, this blackberry cheesecake ice cream is definitely the good stuff!
Not only is it delicious and full of flavors that will satisfy even gourmet ice cream lovers, but it’s easy to make with only a handful of ingredients and no special machine required.
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Blackberries– Fresh, ripe blackberries.
- Cream cheese– Softened to room temperature
- Vanilla– Real vanilla not imitation for best flavor
- Heavy cream– There’s no substitute for this
- Sweetened condensed milk– Store bought or homemade
- Pie crust– A premade graham cracker crust.
How to Make
Making this blackberry cheesecake ice cream is pretty easy.
To do it, start by making the blackberry cheesecake filling.
For the filling, cook the blackberries in a skillet over medium heat until the berries start to break down.
Then stir in the cream cheese and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the mixture is smooth, remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool completely.
While the blackberry mixture is cooling, chill a large metal mixing bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes.
When both the bowl and the berry mix are ready, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixture until the whipped cream is fluffy and stiff peaks form.
Fold in the sweetened condensed milk.
Once the milk is evenly incorporated, fold in the berry mixture until it is evenly incorporated.
Then break up the graham cracker crust into small pieces, setting aside a tablespoon or two.
Stir the rest of the crust pieces into the ice cream mixture.
Transfer the ice cream into a loaf pan, spreading it out into an even layer.
Top it with the reserved graham cracker crust pieces.
Freeze the ice cream for at least 6 hours but up to overnight.
Serve and enjoy!
Storing Homemade Ice Cream
To store no churn ice cream, keep it in an air tight freezer safe container for up to a month.
Before serving, let the container sit on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes so it softens a bit.
Tips and Tricks
- Don’t have blackberries? Substitute raspberries instead.
- Make sure you don’t over mix the whipped cream.
- Be sure to cool the berry cream cheese mixture COMPLETELY before folding it into the cream, otherwise it will melt the cream causing it to collapse and you’ll be left with a soupy mess that won’t freeze into soft serve ice cream.
- You can’t substitute store bought whipped cream for the homemade version that makes the base of this no churn ice cream. Trust me, the two are totally different and it just won’t work.
- It’s ok to leave chunks of graham cracker crust in the ice cream mixture.

Nutrition
I love the sound of this ice cream and it’s perfect for summer! Thanks a bunch for sharing at Fiesta Friday!
Can I leave out the crust? Serving someone who is allergic to wheat.
You could, or use crushed gluten free graham crackers. But it will still be tasty even without the ‘crust’ element!
