This is sooooo good. Owen said it is the best one we have made yet. Tabatha kept eating more and more of it. Now to just figure out how to get the graham cracker crust in it without the graham cracker getting soggy and gross!

16 ounces cream cheese
1 cup sugar (if using sugar or syrup packed frozen berries, omit the sugar in the recipe)
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/4 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
2 cups half-and-half

Blend the sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Add lemon juice and vanilla. Stir until mixed. Blend in half-and-half. Fold in strawberries. Chill for 1-2 hours. Pour into ice cream machine and freeze for 30 min. Serve as soft serve or freeze in the freezer for 2-4 more hours if you prefer to have your ice cream harder.

Yields: 2 quarts
