CHEESECAKE ICE CREAM 
2 egg yolks
1 c. sugar, divided
1 c. half and half
2 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese
1/2 tsp. grated lemon rind
1/2 tsp. grated orange rind
1 tbsp. lemon juice

Beat cream cheese until light. Add remaining sugar, lemon and orange rinds, lemon juice and vanilla, continuing to beat until smooth. Add yogurt and chilled egg yolk mixture; beat smooth. Freeze in an ice cream freezer as directed by manufacturer. Or freeze in flat trays, then beat with rotary beater or in food processor. Makes about 2 quarts. 16 servings.
