Cook the strawberries over medium heat for about 15 - 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the strawberries transform into a chunky strawberry sauce.

Step 1:  

Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the brown sugar and salt until well combined. Mix in the melted butter with a fork about 1 tablespoon at a time until a streusel like texture forms.

Step 2:  

Pour the heavy cream into a mixing bowl fitted with whisk attachment. Whip the cream at medium speed for 5 - 6 minutes or until the whipped cream is medium-stiff peak. Scoop out the whipped cream into another bowl and set aside.

Step 3:  

Add the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract or paste and salt. Cream the ingredients together on low speed until smooth and fully combined. Mix in the whipped cream until just combined.

Step 4:  

Mix in about 2 cups of the cheesecake pieces and about ½ graham cracker crumbs into the ice cream base.

Step 5:  

Assemble the cheesecake strawberry ice cream. Evenly spread about ½ of the base cheesecake ice cream into a large freezer safe container. Swirl ½ of the cooled strawberry sauce into the base ice cream. Top the strawberry swirl with graham cracker crumbs and ½ of the remaining cup of cheesecake pieces. Repeat with the remaining cream cheese ice cream, followed by the strawberry sauce, graham cracker crumbs and cheesecake pieces.

Step 6:  

Transfer to the freezer to set for 1-2 hours. Then cover the entire container in plastic wrap and a layer of foil. Freeze the ice cream for another 6 hours, but preferably overnight. Pull the ice cream out to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes, scoop and enjoy.
