Ingredients
- 14 ounces (397 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 8 ounces (226 g) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
- about ½ cup graham cracker pieces and crumbs
Instructions
- Place a 9” x 5” loaf pan or other similarly sized container in the freezer.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat together the condensed milk, cream cheese, and vanilla until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Place the cream in a separate bowl. Use an electric mixer with a whisk attachment to whip the cream at medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Fold about a quarter of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, and then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream. Stir in the cookie pieces, saving a handful for scattering over the top if you like.
- Transfer the ice cream to the cold pan. If you reserved any cookie pieces, sprinkle them over the top. Cover and freeze at least 5 hours before serving.
