Variations for Milk in the Ninja Creami Vanilla Ice Cream.

Your next option with this recipe is the choice of milk. I use just skim milk as this is is the milk we eat on a daily basis. But you can you whole milk, coconut milk, oat milk, or almond milk. Each type of milk will give a different flavor to your ice cream. 

I use regular half and half but you can substitute fat-free half and half but the ice cream will be less creamy. But if you want an extra creamy texture ice cream use heavy cream for the half and half. 

5 Ingredients Needed for Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream in the Ninja Creami Machine: 

• Cream Cheese, room temperature
• Sugar or monk fruit or your favorite sugar substitute. 
• Vanilla Extract
• Half and Half
• Milk

How to Make the Best Vanilla Ice Cream:

1. In a microwave bowl add the 1 tablespoon of cream cheese and microwave for 15 seconds. You can also start with the cream cheese at room temperature. 
2. To the softened cream cheese add the 1/3 cup of sugar and combine well. 
3. Next, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
4. To the mixture add the half and half and the milk and stir. 
5. Add the ice cream mixture to a pint Ninja Creami container that fits your machine, to the max fill line. This is now the vanilla base. 
6. Freeze for at least 24 hours.
7. Let the frozen pint container sit on the counter for 15 minutes. 
8. When ready to spin your creamy vanilla ice cream, assemble the frozen pint container into the Ninja Creami outer bowl with the paddle attached to the lid and secure onto the machine. For the first spin use the Ice Cream function.
9. If after the first spin, the ice cream is a little crumbly, re-attach and use the re-spin setting. Performing a re-spin will give you the perfect blend of delicious ice cream.
