Description
A rich and creamy vanilla ice cream made in the Ninja Creami with a touch of cream cheese and vanilla bean paste for an indulgent texture and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
- 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1/3 cup (67g) granulated sugar
- Optional: chocolate chips, crushed nuts, fruit purees, cinnamon or nutmeg
Instructions
- In a blender or mixing bowl, combine whole milk, heavy cream, cream cheese, vanilla bean paste, and sugar.
- Blend until completely smooth and sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it does not exceed the max fill line.
- Place the lid on and freeze on a level surface for 24 hours.
- Once frozen solid, insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine and use the ‘Ice Cream’ function.

- Serve immediately or refreeze for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy blending.
