Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 sheets graham crackers (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or microwaving for 10 seconds.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, free from lumps.
Add the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar to the bowl with the cream cheese. Beat on medium speed until well combined and smooth.
Mix in the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt, ensuring the mixture is fully incorporated.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes 20-25 minutes, depending on the machine.
Once the sherbet reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container. Cover the surface with plastic wrap or parchment paper to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze the sherbet for an additional 3-4 hours, or until it firms up to your desired consistency.
Before serving, crumble the graham crackers (if using) and sprinkle them as a garnish over the sherbet for a cheesecake-inspired finishing touch.
