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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, free from lumps.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Mix in the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt, ensuring the mixture is fully incorporated.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Freeze the sherbet for an additional 3-4 hours, or until it firms up to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Before serving, crumble the graham crackers (if using) and sprinkle them as a garnish over the sherbet for a cheesecake-inspired finishing touch.
