Cream Cheese Ice Cream
First things first, let's talk about the elephant in the room. The burning question is: Does cream cheese ice cream actually taste good?!
I am happy to report a very emphatic "yes"! Cream cheese ice cream (aka Cheesecake Ice Cream) is actually pretty incredible.
To me, it tastes like cheesecake, but in ice cream form. (So in terms of intuitive recipe-naming, #nailedit I guess, lol!)
But in all seriousness, who doesn't love cheesecake? And ice cream?! So yes, make this. And if you like the two desserts it's named after, you'll love it!
Low Carb Ice Cream
Now let's talk about what makes this ice cream low carb and keto friendly. It's sugar free; instead of sugar I use Swerve Confectioners Sugar Replacement because it blends really well.
And you won't find any thickeners here! I use a combination of cream cheese + whipped heavy cream and the result is a thick + rich + creamy ice cream.
