Step 1

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

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 4

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

Step 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.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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