Vanilla Ice Cream - Ninja Creami Version

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp (1/2 ounce) cream cheese
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

1. Add cream cheese to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 10 seconds.

2. Add sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Use a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to mix together, until incorporated into a thick paste.

3. In a separate measuring cup, combine whole milk and heavy cream. Gradually add this liquid to the sugar mixture (a couple tablespoons at a time to start), mixing well to combine. Continue until all liquid is added and the sugar has dissolved.

4. Transfer mixture to a Ninja Creami pint. Close the lid and freeze for 24 hours on a level location in your freezer.

5. After 24 hours, remove from freezer and take off lid. Add pint to the bowl of the Ninja Creami and secure lid. Insert bowl into machine, locking into place.

6. Select the Ice Cream function, which will run for about 2 minutes.

7. When the function is complete, unlock the bowl and remove lid. Serve and enjoy!
