1.Make separate bases: heat one half of cream, milk, sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla; heat remaining cream, milk, and sugar in another pan to a gentle simmer.
2.Whisk 2 yolks in each bowl. Slowly temper each with its matching hot base, then return both custards to their pans.

4.Mix mango purée with lemon juice and optional coloring; reserve mango cubes. Churn both custards separately according to the machine instructions.
5.Add cheddar near the end of churning the cheese ice cream and mango cubes near the end of churning the mango ice cream.
6.Layer softened churned ice creams in a loaf pan, swirl lightly, and freeze until firm.
