Make the custard (5 minutes): Soften the cream cheese. Simmer the cornstarch, whole milk and sugar 4 to 5 minutes, taking care that it doesn’t boil. Then add in the heavy cream, more milk and vanilla. Pour it over the cream cheese and whisk to combine. Cool the custard (1 hour): Cool down the custard before churning it. Our favorite way is to transfer the mixture to a large metal or glass bowl and place the bowl in a smaller bowl of ice water for 1 hour. Churn (25 minutes): Then churn the custard in the ice cream maker. Add the graham crackers: Swirl the chopped graham crackers into the custard (if using). Freeze for hard ice cream texture (at least 2 hours): Freeze the ice cream for 2 to 4 hours for a scoop-able, hard ice cream texture.
