Preparation Steps
- In a skillet over medium heat, add fresh ripe blackberries and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until they start to break down and soften.
- Once the blackberry mixture has cooled, add softened cream cheese to the skillet along with a splash of vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Chill a large metal mixing bowl in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream and whip on medium speed until fluffy and you achieve stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula, then carefully fold in the cooled blackberry and cream cheese mixture.
- Break up the pre-made graham cracker pie crust into small pieces and reserve a tablespoon or two for topping later. Fold the remaining crust into the ice cream mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into a 9x5" metal loaf pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved graham cracker crust on top, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Notes
Ensure the blackberry cream cheese mixture cools completely before combining. Avoid over-mixing the whipped cream to maintain lightness. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
