Step Four: Serve with your favorite toppings!

Ninja Creami Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Recipe Tips

• Room Temperature: For best results, use room temperature cream cheese, allowing it to be easily mixed. You can either leave the cream cheese out for about an hour before making this recipe or microwave it for a couple of seconds in the microwave.
• Vanilla Bean Paste: Use a good quality bean paste; you can usually find one in your baking aisle at your local grocery store or order some on Amazon. I love Heilala Pure Vanilla Bean Paste, but McCormick Vanilla Bean Paste is good too!
• Dairy Free: I you want to make this dairy-free, you can substitute the milk for oat milk or coconut cream.
• Re-Spin: If you find that your ice cream mixture did not come together, after spinning, re-spin it again so it’s well combined.

Storing Instructions

Keep your Ninja Creami Vanilla Bean Ice Cream in the freezer in an air tight container to keep it fresh and creamy. For optimal texture, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping and serving.
