A Japanese Ice Cream for Valentines Day

A Japanese Ice Cream for Valentines Day. I have been thinking about what type of Japanese Ice Cream could be good for Valentines day. It would have to be luxurious and delicious. This ice cream is both.
Japanese Haagen Daz Rare Cheese Cake ice cream. I don't usually like Haagen Daz but this one is fantastic.

It tastes exactly what the name says - each mouthful tastes like a little piece a cheesecake in my mouth, with a slight hint of lemon and sweet honey. Then you can taste the biscuit base with more lemon taste.
Just perfect.
Happy Valentines day everyone.
And below is a recipe to make your own Cheesecake Ice cream

This is how the company describes it and truly that's what it is like. Ice cream with cream cheese, from Tokachi, Hokkaido, Japan, soft lemon sauce, and fragrantly mixed texture with flaky and buttery biscuits. Glamorous honey with a refreshing lemon-scented honey source and combined with rich cream cheese ice cream, Haagen- rare cheese cake.

Japanese Cheesecake Icecream Recipe just like Haagen Daz.

175 ml Full cream milk 
200 grams of caster sugar 
I packet (125 grams) of cream cheese 
½ teaspoon of vanilla extract 
1 medium egg
Juice of a lemon
350 ml double cream 
50 grams crumbled digestive biscuits

Heat the milk in a pan, and while it's warming up, beat the sugar, cream cheese, egg and vanilla together in a bowl. Keep beating and pour the hot milk into the cream cheese mixture and then pour it all back into a  clean saucepan and cook till a smooth custard. Don't bother with a double boiler, and actually don't even keep the heat very low, but you will need to stir it constantly, and if you think there's any trouble ahead, plunge the pan into a sink half filled with cold water and whisk like mad and it will become smooth. It shouldn't take more than 10 minutes, this way, for the custard to cook. And when it has thickened, take it off the heat, pour into a bowl and let it cool, at which time add the lemon juice and then the double cream. Freeze in an ice cream maker or place into a covered container, stick it in the freezer and whip it out every hour for 3 hours as it freezes and give it a good beating, folding in the crushed buiscuits before the ice cream is set solid.
 Yum.

Japanese Haagen Daz Ice Cream

Japanese Haagen Daz Ice Cream.This ice cream brand is super popular in Japan, not sure why as I think it is only 'OK' ice cream. Maybe because it's from the USA and the people from Japan seem to love all from there. They do have a good flavour range though.

In the photo is Green Tea, Vanilla, Custard Pudding, Strawberry, Rum and Raisin, Black Sesame, Apple Pie, Red Bean, Chocolate, Rich Milk, Cookies and Cream, Caramel Ice cream sandwich, Green Tea and Brown sugar ice cream sandwich, Cafe Latte ice cream sandwich, Vanilla almond.
There is also some new ones like Salty Butter biscuit ice cream (really good), cream cheese raspberry (like cheesecake) and Panna Cotta ice cream sandwich.

Cake Stick, Blueberry cheesecake ice-cream from Japan

The cheesecake flavoured Cake Stick is Japanese icecream plus a little blueberry jam inside it. It is meant to be just like blueberry cheesecake that you can buy in coffee shops. It’s not smooth milk based icecream however, rather like a frozen icy kind of ice cream, akin to frozen yogurt or something. Very good but not great Japanese ice cream, though I find it a little bizarre to have artificially flavoured cheesecake icecream.
