No-Churn Strawberry Ice Cream Base

Step 1

Heat your cream cheese in 10 second intervals in microwave, mixing in between, to soften cream cheese to an easily spreadable texture (should not be fully melted, but just warmer than room temp!)

Step 2

Heat your strawberry jam in the same fashion as cream cheese, but for even less time, jam should be just at the point of being liquid, but not hot at all.

Step 3

Whip your heavy cream to stiff peaks, you can do this using an immersion blender, your stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or the old fashioned way with a whisk and large bowl.

Step 4

Gently fold in your cream cheese until barely incorporated, then do the same with your sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt.

Step 5

AT THIS POINT, YOU CAN SET ASIDE ABOUT 1 CUP OF YOUR BASE BEFORE INCORPORATING THE REST OF YOUR INGREDIENTS TO GET ALTERNATING LAYERS IN YOUR ICEBOX CAKE, OR, JUST CONTINUE TO THE NEXT STEP.
