In a small saucepan with a thick bottom, place the raspberries (if using frozen, you do not need to thaw them beforehand), granulated sugar, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the raspberries start to break down and release their juice. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Description
Discover the magic of homemade ice cream without the need for a specialized machine! This recipe is the essence of a creamy dessert that combines the richness of classic cheesecake with the refreshing, slightly tangy note of raspberries and the sweetness of melting white chocolate. The ice cream has an incredibly smooth, velvety texture thanks to the mascarpone cheese and whipped cream base. Each spoonful is a journey through layers of flavors and textures: from the silky cheese mixture, through the intense homemade raspberry sauce, to the crunchy pieces of cookies and sweet white chocolate shavings. Perfect for a summer afternoon, an elegant dessert after dinner, or simply as a moment of sweet indulgence. Serve it in bowls, cones, or as a topping for warm brownies.

Preparation steps
Preparation of raspberry sauce
Increase the burner power and bring the sauce to a boil. Cook for another 5-8 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce noticeably thickens. It should have the consistency of a thin syrup – remember that it will become even thicker as it cools. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool COMPLETELY. This is very important because a warm sauce would melt the ice cream.
Preparation of the cheesecake filling
In a large, chilled bowl, place very cold 36% heavy cream. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, start whipping the cream on low speed. Gradually increase the speed to maximum. Whip for about 3-5 minutes until the cream becomes thick and fluffy, and when you remove the beaters, stiff peaks (known as 'stiff tips') will hold their shape.
In a second, large bowl, place the mascarpone cheese and cream cheese (both at room temperature). Add the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Using a mixer on low speed (you can use the same beaters without washing), mix the ingredients just until they combine into a uniform, smooth, and creamy mixture. This usually takes no longer than 1 minute.
Add 1/3 of the whipped cream to the cheese mixture and gently but thoroughly mix with a silicone spatula to loosen the consistency of the cheese. Then add the remaining whipped cream. Now very gently combine both mixtures, using sweeping motions from the bottom of the bowl upwards (the so-called folding method). Mix only until the ingredients are combined. The goal is to retain as much air from the whipped cream as possible.
Combining and Freezing
Prepare the toppings. Chop the white chocolate with a sharp knife on a cutting board into irregular, small pieces. Place the biscuits in a ziplock bag, seal it, and gently crush them with a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy glass into smaller and larger crumbs. Also, prepare a freezing container – a metal loaf pan or a plastic container with a capacity of about 1.5 liters works best.
Pour half of the cheesecake mixture into the prepared container and smooth the surface with a spatula. On top, place dollops of half of the cooled raspberry sauce. Sprinkle with half of the chopped white chocolate and half of the crushed biscuits. Cover everything with the remaining cheesecake mixture. On top, again place dollops of the remaining raspberry sauce and sprinkle with the rest of the chocolate and biscuits.
Using the handle of a spoon or a skewer, make a few gentle swirling motions in the ice cream mixture to create a marbled effect (the so-called 'swirl'). Do not mix too much; 3-4 motions are enough to avoid completely combining the sauce with the mixture. Cover the container tightly with a lid or double layer of plastic wrap, pressing it against the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Place the container in the freezer for at least 6-8 hours, preferably overnight. The ice cream must completely set. Before serving, take the ice cream out of the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop. Serve in bowls or cones, optionally garnished with fresh mint leaves.
Fun Fact
The method of making ice cream without a machine, based on whipped cream and a sweetened base (often condensed milk), gained immense popularity in the 1930s in the United States. It was a simple and accessible alternative to expensive and complicated ice cream machines, allowing everyone to enjoy homemade dessert.

Tips
Serve the ice cream in chilled bowls to slow down melting. You can drizzle it with an extra portion of raspberry sauce or melted white chocolate. It also pairs wonderfully with fresh berries. For adults, you can add a splash of Chambord liqueur to the raspberry sauce.
Store ice cream in an airtight container in the coldest part of the freezer (usually at the back). To prevent ice crystals from forming, always cover the surface of the ice cream with a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap before sealing the container. Store for up to 1 month, although it is best within the first 2 weeks.
