Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipped topping
- 1 quart rainbow sherbet (orange, raspberry, lime)
Instructions
- Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly combined, then press into the bottom of a baking dish to form a firm crust. Chill for 15 minutes.
- In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix until fully incorporated.
- Blend in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
- Fold in whipped topping gently to maintain a light texture.
- Spread the cream mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
- Soften sherbet slightly, then spread the first flavor over the cream layer. Freeze for 30 minutes.
- Repeat layering with remaining sherbet flavors, freezing between each layer for best results.
- Freeze the dessert for at least 4–6 hours or overnight until fully set.
- Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Freeze each layer before adding the next to keep layers distinct.
- Use a warm knife for clean, neat slices.
- Do not over-soften sherbet to avoid mixing layers.
- Store tightly covered in the freezer to prevent ice crystals.
- You can substitute flavors of sherbet to match your preference or season.
