Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • A tiny pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Soften the Cream Cheese

  • Place your cream cheese in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat it for 10 seconds until it is very soft and easy to stir.

Mix Sugar and Cream Cheese

  • Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the softened cream cheese. Whisk them together until the mixture looks like a smooth, thick paste.

Add the Liquid Ingredients

  • Slowly pour the whole milk and heavy cream into the bowl. Whisk gently until all the sugar has completely dissolved into the liquid.

Fill the Pint Container

  • Pour your vanilla mixture into the clean Ninja Creami pint. Make sure you do not go past the maximum fill line.

Freeze the Base

  • Place the lid on the pint and set it on a level surface in your freezer. Let it freeze for a full 24 hours.

Prepare to Spin

  • Take the pint out of the freezer and remove the lid. Place the pint into the outer bowl of your Ninja Creami machine.

Select the Program

  • Lock the bowl into the machine and select the "Ice Cream" button. The machine will spin for about two minutes to create a creamy texture.

Check the Texture

  • If the ice cream looks a bit powdery, do not worry. Simply add one tablespoon of milk and press the "Re-spin" button.

Add Your Mix-ins

  • If you want chocolate chips or cookies, make a hole in the center. Add your treats and press the "Mix-in" button.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Scoop the fresh ice cream into chilled bowls or eat it straight. Serve it immediately while the texture is soft and perfect.

Notes

  • Use a frother to get a very smooth mix without any lumps.
  • Make sure your freezer is set to a very cold temperature.
  • Swap the sugar for maple syrup if you want a deeper flavor.
  • Add a splash of almond extract for a "wedding cake" taste.
  • Use dairy-free cream and coconut milk for a vegan version.
  • Mix in some crushed sprinkles at the end for a party vibe.
