Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz softened full-fat cream cheese
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped to soft peaks
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling or fresh cherries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy to create the base texture and flavor.
  2. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vanilla: Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to combine sweetness and depth.
  3. Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, giving the ice cream an airy, fluffy texture.
  4. Fold the Whipped Cream into the Cream Cheese Mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese base with a spatula to retain airiness and keep it light.
  5. Incorporate the Cherry Swirl: Add the cherry pie filling or fresh cherries, folding gently to create beautiful swirls without fully mixing the cherries in.
  6. Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth, lump-free mixture.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to maintain a light, airy texture without overmixing.
  • Use high-quality fresh or premium cherry pie filling for best flavor and appearance.
  • Store in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals and freezer burn.
  • Freeze overnight for optimal firm and scoopable texture.
