Ginger Peach Cheesecake Ice Cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup plus 2/3 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 1/2 cups peeled and diced fresh peaches
- 3 quarter-sized slices fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon peach schnapps
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 8 ounces reduced fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and 1/4 cup sugar. Add peaches, ginger, lemon juice and peach schnapps and combine. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened (about 7 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Fish out pieces of ginger, cover and refrigerate until chilled.
- In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press into an ungreased medium ramekin and bake at 350?F for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool in ramekin on a wire rack.
- In the meantime, place cream cheese, sour cream, half-and-half, 2/3 cup sugar, vanilla and salt in a food processor. Process until smooth. Transfer to container with pouring spout; cover, and refrigerate until chilled.
- When ice cream base has chilled, churn in ice cream maker, according to manufacturer's instructions. Break graham cracker crust into pieces and place 1/2 of them on the bottom of a freezer-safe container. Top with 1/2 of the ice cream, followed by 1/2 of the peach sauce. Repeat with one more layer and swirl everything together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Place sealed container in freezer to bloom for at least 3 hours. Just before serving, remove from freezer and allow to rest 5-10 minutes before scooping into bowls.
