Oh Ice Cream! My favorite food. I was going to post this on Amy's thread, but it would be nicer here. We made this for the 4th of July and it was the best homemade ice cream we ever ate. It was fabulous and the whole neighborhood wanted the recipe. Enjoy!

Cream Cheese Ice Cream

5 cups half-and-hald or light cream
2 1/2 cups sugar
4 beaten eggs (well beaten or you'll end up with scrambled eggs in your mixture).
3 8-oz. pkg cream cheese
1 tsp finely shredded lemon peel
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp vanilla
Fresh Blueberries, peaches or dark cherries

In a large saucepan combine 3 cups of the half-and-half or light cream, the sugar, and eggs. Cook and stir over medium heat just till boiling. In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese with an electric mixer till smooth; gradually beat in hot mixture. Cover and chill thoroughly. Stir in remaining half-and-half, lemon peel, lemon juice, and vanilla. Freeze in a 4 or 5 quart ice cream freezer according to the directions. Ripen 4 hours. Garnish each serving with choice of fresh fruit if desired. Makes about 3 quarts. (We used our freshly picked blueberries).
