Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp full-fat cream cheese (softened)
- ½ tsp pumpkin spice mix
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Base
- Soften the cream cheese in the microwave for 10 seconds or until pliable.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, pumpkin spice mix, and brown sugar until smooth and paste-like.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients
- Stir in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until fully combined. Gradually whisk in whole milk to avoid lumps.
- Add heavy cream and a pinch of salt, stirring until the mixture is silky smooth with no clumps.
Step 3: Freeze the Base
- Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it doesn’t exceed the max fill line. Level the surface for even freezing.
- Secure the lid and freeze on a flat surface for at least 22–24 hours.
Step 4: Spin into Ice Cream
- Once frozen solid, place the container into the Ninja Creami machine and select “ICE CREAM” mode. If crumbly after spinning, add a splash of milk or cream and use “RE-SPIN” for a smoother texture.
Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve in bowls with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an elegant touch. Pair with ginger snaps or pecan pralines for added crunch!
Tips & Tricks:
- No Ninja Creami? Use an ice cream maker or freeze in a container, stirring every couple of hours (though texture may vary).
- For extra warmth, add more cinnamon or nutmeg to taste. Prefer less spice? Reduce pumpkin spice mix to ¼ tsp.
Storage Instructions:
- Store leftovers in the pint container for up to one week in the freezer. Re-spin before serving to restore creaminess—do not microwave!
This recipe brings together rich autumn flavors in an easy-to-make dessert that’s sure to impress family and friends alike!
