Ingredients
Scale
- ½ tablespoon cream cheese (room temperature)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1¼ cups whole milk
Instructions
- Blend the Base: In a blender or mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla bean paste, heavy whipping cream, and whole milk. Blend until smooth and fully combined.
- Freeze the Mixture: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it is level and does not exceed the max fill line. Freeze on a flat surface for 24 hours without the lid to prevent bumps on top.
- Process in the Ninja Creami: After freezing, place the pint container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami machine. Lock it in place and select the “Ice Cream” setting.
- Adjust Texture (if needed): If the ice cream looks crumbly after processing, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and re-spin until creamy. Repeat as necessary for desired texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Scoop into bowls or cones and savor your homemade vanilla bean ice cream!
