Ingredients Needed

How To Make Ninja Creami Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tarts Ice Cream
Step 1: In a large microwave-safe bowl, warm the cream cheese in the microwave for about 10 seconds until softened. Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Whisk or stir with a spatula until smooth and creamy—like frosting—about 1 minute.
Step 2: Gradually pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring until the mixture is fully combined and the sugar has dissolved.
Step 3: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Secure the lid tightly and place the pint in the freezer for 24 hours until solid.
Step 4: Once frozen, remove the lid from the pint and place it into the outer bowl. Attach the paddle to the lid, lock it in place, and secure the bowl to the Ninja Creami motor base. Select the “ICE CREAM” setting to process your frozen base until smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Use a spoon to create a 1½-inch hole down the center of the pint. Add in the chopped frozen Pop-Tarts® pieces. Select the “MIX-IN” program to incorporate them.
Step 6: Scoop out your finished ice cream and top with extra Pop-Tarts pieces if you’d like. Serve immediately and enjoy that nostalgic flavor!
Ninja Creami Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tarts Ice Cream Recipe Tips
- Mix the Base Thoroughly: Make sure to whisk the cream cheese, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy to avoid lumps in your ice cream base.
- Freeze for Full 24 Hours: For the best texture, freeze the mixture for the full 24 hours. Shortening the freezing time may affect the final consistency.
- Create a Deep Hole for Mix-ins: When adding the Pop-Tarts pieces, make sure to create a deep hole in the center of the ice cream so that the pieces get evenly distributed throughout.
- Use Frozen Pop-Tarts: Freeze the Pop-Tarts pieces ahead of time to prevent them from becoming too soggy when mixed into the ice cream.
- Adjust Sweetness: Depending on your personal preference, you can increase or decrease the amount of brown sugar in the base.
- Serve Immediately: Once the ice cream is ready, enjoy it right away for the freshest flavor and texture. If you plan to store it, let it soften a bit before scooping.
- Add More Mix-ins: Feel free to add extra Pop-Tarts pieces or even a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce before serving to make the dessert even more indulgent.
Storing
Store any leftover Ninja Creami Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tarts Ice Cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. For the best texture, allow it to soften for a few minutes before scooping.
Ninja Creami Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tarts Ice Cream Recipe Faqs
Can I use a different flavor of Pop-Tarts for this recipe? Yes, you can customize the ice cream by using different flavors of Pop-Tarts, like strawberry, s’mores, or chocolate fudge, depending on your preference.
Can I make this recipe without the cream cheese? While the cream cheese adds a rich, creamy texture to the ice cream, you can omit it if you prefer. The ice cream will still be delicious but may have a slightly different texture.
How long should I freeze the mixture before using the Ninja Creami? For best results, freeze the mixture for at least 24 hours to ensure it’s solid enough to process into creamy ice cream.

Description
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts pastry, cut into ½-inch pieces, frozen, for mix-in (plus extra as desired, for serving)
Instructions
- Place the cream cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 10 seconds to soften. Add in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Whisk or stir with a rubber spatula until the mixture is smooth and creamy—similar to frosting—about 1 minute.

- Transfer the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Seal it with the lid and freeze for 24 hours, or until completely solid.
- After freezing, remove the pint from the freezer and take off the lid. Place the pint into the outer bowl, attach the paddle to the lid, and lock it into place. Set the bowl assembly onto the motor base and twist the handle to raise and secure the platform.
- Select the “ICE CREAM” setting and let the machine do its magic.
- Once blended, use a spoon to create a 1½-inch hole in the center of the pint, reaching all the way to the bottom. Fill the hole with chopped frozen Pop-Tarts pieces. Run the “MIX-IN” cycle to blend them into the ice cream.
- Scoop and serve immediately, topping with extra Pop-Tarts pieces if desired. Enjoy this nostalgic, creamy treat!
