Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the thawed berries with the softened cream cheese.
- Fold in the softened whipped topping until well combined.
- Serve immediately in ice cream cones or freeze slightly for a firmer texture.
- Note: Will freeze hard if left in the freezer.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. You can substitute the Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream if desired. If you prefer a sweeter taste, adjust the sweetness by adding powdered sugar or honey to the cream cheese. Thawed frozen berries work best, but fresh berries can be used for a more vibrant color and taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Almost Eskimo Ice Cream in waffle cones or bowls for a delightful treat. It pairs beautifully with a slice of St. Louis Cake or a side of Saucy Peas for a fun dessert spread. For a more indulgent experience, top with chocolate sauce or sprinkle with crushed nuts before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. To enjoy again, allow it to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will soften it slightly, making it easier to scoop. Avoid leaving it in the freezer for too long, as it can become rock hard.
