Recipe: Cheesecake

Another one inspired by Nigella Lawson. She does some great ice cream.

200 ml milk
300 ml cream
125g cream cheese
200g sugar
juice of half a lemon
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
2 eggs
~60g digestive biscuits

Beat together the eggs, sugar, cream cheese and vanilla. Then heat up the milk and beat it into this mix. Pour it all back into the saucepan and stir until custard develops. Chill then freeze in the ice cream maker. Once it's finished, stir in the crumbled up biscuits and put it in the freezer for further solidification.

Remarks: Great! Could have used another hour or so in the freezer, but I was under time pressures due to rugby league season...If this wasn't a bit too soft I would rank it as my favorite ice cream yet...
