1 ounce cream cheese, at room temperature

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Pinch of kosher salt

1 cup whole milk

3 tablespoons mix-ins of choice, such as mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, crushed cookies and/or mini candy-coated chocolates, optional

Directions

Special equipment:

a Ninja® CREAMi® ice cream maker

Whisk the cream cheese, sugar, heavy cream, vanilla and salt in a large bowl until combined and smooth. Slowly whisk in the milk until fully combined and the sugar is dissolved.
Pour the ice cream base into an empty Ninja® CREAMi® pint of the ice cream maker. Place the storage lid on the pint to secure and freeze until completely solid, at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
Remove the storage lid from the pint. Attach the pint to the Ninja CREAMi according to the manual instructions and secure the paddle. Select the ICE CREAM program and process. When complete, remove the pint from the machine.
If adding mix ins, use a spoon to create a 1-inch-wide hole that reaches to the bottom and add desired mix-ins. Process again using the MIX-IN program.
When complete, serve immediately.
