Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

The idea was pretty simple, a custard based ice cream with chunks of strawberries, cream cheese and graham cracker crust.

1. Heat the cream, milk and sugar in a sauce pan until it almost boils, about 5 minutes.
2. Reduce the heat to low.
3. Add one tablespoon of the cream mixture to the eggs to temper them.
4. Add the egg mixture to the sauce pan.
5. Cook at low heat until it thickens and can coat the back of a spoon.
6. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
7. Chill the mixture in the fridge.
8. Start freezing according to the instructions for your ice cream machine.
9. About half way through add the strawberries, cream cheese and graham cracker crust crumbs.
