You might recall the new york cheesecake I made last month? Before I created it I had big plans for that cheesecake. Plans that turned into something crazy tasty.
The fresh blackberries from the farmers market are so tart - sweet right now, and are a perfect companion to the creamy rich cheesecake as they float around in this velvety vanilla ice cream. The graham crust of the cheesecake takes it over the top.
blackberry cheesecake ice cream
vegan, gluten free, dairy free
1 cup fresh blackberries
2 slices cheesecake
1 cup non dairy creamer
2 cups non dairy milk
2 tablespoons vanilla
1 tablespoon NuNaturals More Fiber™ Baking Blend™
1 tablespoon tapioca flour
Mix ¼ cup creamer with tapioca flour, stir until blended and set aside. Combine remaining creamer, milk, vanilla and morefiber in saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, add tapioca mixture and combine. Place in fridge to cool completely - at least one hour.
Meanwhile, cut cheesecake into small bite size pieces. Then cut more to replace the pieces you ate.
Pour ice cream base into maker and prepare according to manufacturer directions. Add blackberries and cheesecake pieces in the last couple minutes, after ice cream has formed, continue to churn. Transfer to freezer to firm - several hours to overnight.
I couldn't wait that long. I had to try some after only a few minutes - just as long as it took me to clean my ice cream maker.
The other half of this cheesecake is currently tucked away in the freezer. What kind of ice cream should I make next?
What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

Heather (Where's the Beach) says
As always, that looks amazing. I don't even like blackberries but would eat every bite of that (I have issues with the seeds). Growing up I loved Rocky Road, but now I prefer a pecan caramel.
spabettie says
mm, pecan caramel, that sounds GOOD!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
This looks so good! I so want a bowl of ice cream right now 🙂
My favorite ice cream is cookies n cream -- that is the flavor my parents would always buy when we were kids!
spabettie says
I love cookies and cream - it was one of the first flavors I made when I got my ice cream maker! 😀
Maryea {Happy Healthy Mama} says
What a great combination! Looks fantastic. My favorite ice cream flavor is probably peanut butter cup. Can't go wrong with chocolate+peanut butter.
spabettie says
ooh, me too. I used to LOVE Tillamook Dairy's chocolate peanut butter - rich chocolate ice cream with ribbons of peanut butter swirled through...
Alayna @ Thyme Bombe says
This was one of those "holy crap" recipes for me. I cannot get over how delicious that looks! And you say you have more cheesecake you don't know what to do with? Oh man, I'd do baked cinnamon apple cheesecake ice cream. Or, you know, just eat the delicious cheesecake! 🙂
spabettie says
oooh to the cinnamon apple cheesecake ice cream - that sounds fantastic. a perfect fall dessert.
and yeah, it was pretty much a "holy crap" recipe for me too. 😉

I love matcha everything and frozen yogurt rocks my world... but what about gluten-free, dairy-free, gelatin-free rocky road?
spabettie says
Mmm, matcha! me too. rocky road would be pretty easy, I have a gelatin free marshmallow! 😀
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says

spabettie says
I know - it pretty much is! 😀 my best ice cream yet! 🙂
Liz (Little Bitty Bakes) says
Stopppp it!! Blackberries are my favorite fruit! (this changes seasonally) I had a blackberry cocktail at HLS this weekend that was literally like drinking crushed blackberries. I can only imagine how delicious blackberry cheesecake ice cream would taste.
spabettie says
Mmm, a blackberry cocktail... hmmm, I still have blackberries 😉
