Strawberries + Angel Food Ice Cream

Strawberries and cream ice creamWith summer starting to feel like it's just around the corner I'm feeling the need to break out my ice cream maker more.

It almost feels like a humble brag. πŸ™‚ Strawberry and angel food cake ice creamI love experimenting with all sorts of flavors.

8 oz. softened cream cheese
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup whole milk
a pinch of salt

1/2 cup chopped strawberries
1/2 cup cubed angel food cake 

In a mixer cream together the cream cheese and sugar until well combined. Stir in the milk, salt and heavy whipping cream.
