Ice Cream Base
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
Mix-Ins
- 1 (7.5-oz.) box Annie’s Birthday Cake Bunny Grahams, coarsely chopped (about 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons grahams)
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
- Beat Cream Cheese Mixture: In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the softened cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Whip Cream and Flavor: Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and kosher salt to the cream cheese and continue beating until stiff peaks form, approximately 2 minutes, creating a thick whipped cream base.
- Incorporate Condensed Milk and Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined. Then fold in 2 cups of the coarsely chopped Bunny Grahams and 1/2 cup of rainbow sprinkles, carefully mixing to distribute the crunchy, colorful bits evenly without deflating the whipped mixture.
- Transfer to Pan and Top: Pour the graham and sprinkle ice cream mixture into a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan, filling it to the top. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of Bunny Grahams and 2 tablespoons of rainbow sprinkles evenly over the surface for extra texture and visual appeal.
- Freeze Until Firm: Place the loaf pan in the freezer and chill until the ice cream is firm, which takes at least 5 hours or can be done overnight for best results.
- Make Ahead Tip: This ice cream can be made up to one week in advance. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and keep frozen until ready to serve.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to prevent lumps in the ice cream base.
- Folding gently is important to maintain the airy, whipped texture.
- Use a loaf pan size close to 9″ x 5″ to ensure proper thickness and freezing consistency.
- Freezing time can vary based on your freezer; overnight freezing ensures the best texture.
- Feel free to swap birthday cake flavor Bunny Grahams for any similar cookie or graham cracker for a different twist.
