Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream, chilled
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Flavor and Add-ins

  • 1 cup cherry pie filling or 1 cup fresh pitted cherries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Base: Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for a perfect cheesecake texture.
  2. Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form to create a light, fluffy texture.
  3. Combine Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vanilla: Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the softened cream cheese mixture to add sweetness and depth of flavor.
  4. Fold in the Whipped Cream: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, retaining as much air as possible for a bright, soft ice cream consistency.
  5. Add the Cherries: Gently fold in cherry pie filling or fresh pitted cherries, distributing them evenly while keeping chunks intact for texture.
  6. Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, spread evenly, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm and scoopable.

Notes

  • Soften cream cheese fully before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to preserve airiness.
  • Use high-quality fresh or preserved cherries for best flavor.
  • Cover tightly before freezing to prevent ice crystals.
  • Allow ice cream to sit 5-10 minutes at room temperature before scooping for easier serving.
