Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup cherry pie filling
1/2 cup graham crackers, crushed
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
Pour half the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container.
Spoon half the cherry pie filling over the base, then sprinkle a layer of crushed graham crackers.
Repeat with the remaining cream base, cherry filling, and graham crackers.
Use a knife to gently swirl the cherries and crackers into the mixture for a marbled effect.
Cover the container and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping and serving.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for best flavor and texture.
Let the ice cream sit out a few minutes before scooping for easier serving.
Store in an airtight, freezer-safe container to avoid freezer burn.
Customize with chocolate chips, nuts, or fresh cherry compote if desired.
