My notes

Tips

  • Use full-fat cream cheese. Light cream cheese tastes thin and freezes icier.
  • For a stronger cheesecake taste, add ½ tsp finely grated lemon zest with the strawberries.
  • Blend the cream for no more than 15 seconds, or it starts to whip and the base turns grainy. For a gluten-free rim, use gluten-free biscuits and check the label.

Why it works

Cream cheese gives the tang and body of cheesecake and its protein holds on to water, so ice crystals stay small. Sugar and strawberry pectin keep the base soft enough to blend thick.
