The following recipe is my two favourite things rolled into one amazing dessert: strawberry ice cream and cheesecake.

Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 - 14.5 oz can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 - 8 oz. tub Cool Whip
• 1 - 8 oz brick of cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 15 Golden Oreos (approximately half of a package)
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 - 21 oz can Lucky Leaf Strawberry Pie filling

Directions:

1. Use a hand mixer to beat together the sweetened condensed milk, cool whip, cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth. Set aside.
2. In a food processor (or using whatever crushing method you prefer), process the Golden Oreos and 1/4 cup butter together until crumbly (should clump together though).
3. Dump the crust "clumps" into the middle of the ice cream batter, don't stir.
4. Pour the Lucky Leaf Strawberry Pie Filling over the crust "clumps." Use a large rubber spatula to gently fold the filling and crust into the ice cream batter. You should only need to use 2-3 strokes. You want swirls, and it's easy to over mix and combine everything instead if you're not careful.
5. Pour mixture (this will mix it up a little bit more too) into a standard loaf pan and freeze for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).

Enjoy!

Take Care,
