I love flavors. I love textures. I even love colors. I And I especially love contrasting but balanced flavors and textures, even moreso when there are pretty colors. And when it comes to ice cream, give me something creamy filled with chunks, like Graham Cracker Chocolate Chunk No-Churn Ice Cream. Something smooth with an element of crunch, like Caramel Toffee Chip Cheesecake No-Churn Ice Cream. Then add some velvety swirls or satiny ripples like you find in Salted Ripple Chip No-Churn Ice Cream for good measure.
As far as other foods, well, if it’s fruity, I want something nutty for balance. Sweet and salty – I’m all in. Chocolate and peanut butter – #winning. Black with white, butternut squash orange with cranberry-red pomegranates and a white pop of goat cheese.
So why, oh why would I make something that looks like this…
Because it’s #VanillaWeek, and our awesome sponsor Nielsen-Massey Vanillas sent me a selection of extracts and, my favorite, Vanilla Bean Paste. Do you want to talk about the most pure, intense vanilla flavor? You’ve got it right here. So I knew that I had to make a recipe that truly celebrated this amazing vanilla, but I had to add a little something to it.
Soooo, Vanilla Bean Cheesecake No-Churn Ice Cream. Really, what more could you want?
It’s rich, it’s creamy, it tastes just like cheesecake, only better because, well, it’s ice cream. And, beyond that, it’s ice cream that doesn’t require and ice cream machine to make it. The tang of the cream cheese gives this ice cream that true cheesecake-iness, but the essence of the vanilla still shines through, with neither of the flavors overpowering the other.
And it’s smooth and just absolutely luscious. I am so tempted to just grab another scoop or two as I sit here writing this. And I already had some tonight. It’s that good, people!
If I want some color, I’ll just add a purple background and some pink and red spoons…
If you just want classic Vanilla Bean Cheesecake, check out the recipe from Wine and Glue. This ice cream would make the perfect filling for the ice cream layer of this Double Vanilla Ice Cream Cake from Brown-Eyed Baker. And if you are looking for another recipe to use that Vanilla Bean Paste you bought, cool off with Vanilla Bean Horchata Iced Coffee from Nutmeg Nanny.

I can eat ice cream any day of the year!
I love how easy this recipe is! I’ve yet to try making no-churn, but it’s totally on my list! And those vanilla bean speckles are to die for!
It’s a much easier thing to have on your list than macarons 😉
I live by that vanilla bean paste!! It’s a must in my kitchen. Just love this ice cream 🙂

Thanks! Yes, I need to keep it on hand more often!
I am not the biggest ice cream fan, there are only a few flavors I like and a GOOD vanilla bean is one of them. I always use the vanilla bean paste when I make homemade ice cream. I love that this is no churn. That means ice cream in my face even faster. ha ha ha

It’s so easy, though I do need to get back to making more traditional ice creams. But this is a nice quick fix!
My favorite ice cream has swirls and chunks but, I won’t turn down smooth, soft serve either. This recipe looks awesome. I’m definitely trying this one. Thanks for sharing.
Ha, I love soft serve, but always add a crunch topping 🙂
This looks so creamy and amazing! I want a scoop even though it’s like 0 outside. Oh, and that vanilla bean paste is one of my favorite things ever!!!

This ice cream sounds crazy amazing! I love the combination of the vanilla bean with the cheesecake. And no-churn is ALWAYS a winner in my book. 😉
Carrie @Frugal Foodie Mama recently posted…Vanilla Glazed Cinnamon-Raisin Biscuits {& A #VanillaWeek Giveaway}

Soft serve alone! Or coffee with a slather of caramel or crunchies!
