Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Combine milk, cream, vanilla bean paste, sugar, and cream cheese (or guar gum) in a small blender. Blend until smooth.
- Freeze Mixture: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Freeze for 24 hours on a flat surface without the lid to avoid bumps on the surface.

- Adjust Texture if Needed: If the ice cream is crumbly or dry, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and re-spin until creamy.
Notes
- Serving Suggestions: Serve plain or top with fresh fruit, chocolate syrup, or crushed cookies for added flavor.
- Tips & Tricks:
- Use high-quality vanilla bean paste for an intense flavor and visible specks of vanilla.
- Ensure your freezer is set between -7°F and 9°F for optimal results.
- Re-spin only after the first spin if the texture isn’t creamy enough.
- Storage: Store leftover ice cream in the Ninja Creami pint container with a lid. Re-spin before serving if it hardens too much in the freezer.
