Morphology
The phrase's meaning is directly and compositionally derived from its parts: 'favorite' (particularly liked) + 'childhood' (early life) + 'memory' (recollection) yields a cherished recollection from early life. This is a common, cross-linguistic construction and follows straightforward noun-modifier composition, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will understand it.
Etymology
Favorite childhood memory creates a simple picture: a child keeping one small treasure in their heart, where favorite means 'most loved' and childhood memory is a memory from when you were young. So, it means a very loved memory from your childhood that makes you feel happy when you think about it.
