Scale
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened

- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Notes
Serving Suggestions:
Top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or crushed nuts for added flair. Pair with brownies or cookies for an extra indulgent dessert.
Tips & Tricks:
- Soften cream cheese beforehand for easier blending.
- Use Dutch-process cocoa for a richer chocolate flavor.
- Re-spin if the ice cream is too firm or crumbly after processing.
Storage:
Store leftovers in the Ninja Creami pint container with the lid on for up to two weeks in the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving again or re-spin to restore its creamy texture.
