I love cheesecake. I love strawberries.. I love strawberry-cheesecake ice cream. I wanted an ice cream that truly maintained the flavor of my favorite New York cheesecake. I looked on line, but none of the recipes I found had a specific ingredient that I felt was necessary to get the correct flavor. So I took my cheesecake recipe (well not mine, but the best one I've ever used, or IMHO tasted, modified it to combine the right ingredients, with the correct technique for making a custard-based ice cream and came up with this. It tasted just like my cheesecake, with all of the combined flavors and textures, except in ice cream form. Enjoy.
