Ingredients
Listed below are all the ingredients you will need:
- sweetened condensed milk
- vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- heavy cream
- brown sugar
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
- salt
- fresh bananas (optional)
- nilla wafers, chessman cookies or vanilla wafer cookies
- Philadelphia's no bake cheesecake filling

Instructions
Start by whipping 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a stand mixer until fully blended (4-5 minutes, or 2 minutes with a Bosch):

Next, in a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract:

Carefully fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until it reaches a uniform texture:

For the next step, line a bread pan with foil and pour ⅓ of the pudding mix:

Now, add slices of no-bake cheesecake, ripe bananas, and cookies. Continue the layering process, considering optional additions like caramel or butterscotch drizzle between layers:

A crucial note: the no-bake cheesecake comes in a tub at Walmart. Additionally, for a helpful tip, flip your bread pan upside down for easier foil lining.
When it comes to the cookies, crushed Cheeseman Cookies work best, while Nilla wafers are ideal as chunks. Remember, ensure no large cookie chunks for a smoother texture.
Freeze this homemade ice cream for at least 8 hours or overnight. Enjoy!
