Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon cream cheese
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 Tablespoons peanut butter powder
- 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Melt Cream Cheese: Place the cream cheese in a large, microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 15 seconds until softened. This helps achieve a smooth ice cream texture.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add sugar, cocoa powder, peanut butter powder, and vanilla extract to the melted cream cheese. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined into a smooth mixture.
- Add Dairy: Pour in the milk and heavy cream, then whisk thoroughly to create a consistent creamy base for the ice cream.
- Freeze Mixture: Transfer the ice cream mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 24 hours to ensure it is fully frozen and ready for processing.
- Process in Ninja Creami: Remove the frozen pint from the freezer and place it in the Ninja Creami machine. Select the ice cream setting to process the mixture into ice cream. If the texture is too firm, add a splash of milk and reprocess to achieve desired creaminess.
- Add Mix-ins (Optional): If you want to add any mix-ins such as chocolate chips or nuts, create a small hole in the center of the ice cream after processing, add the mix-ins, and use the Ninja Creami mix-in feature to incorporate them evenly.
Notes
- Ensure the ice cream mixture is fully frozen for best texture; 24 hours is recommended.
- You can substitute peanut butter powder with natural peanut butter, but reduce heavy cream slightly to maintain consistency.
- Adding a splash of milk after initial processing can help achieve a softer texture if too firm.
- Use whole milk for creamier results; skim or low-fat will reduce richness.
- Experiment with mix-ins like crushed cookies, chocolate chips, or nuts for added texture and flavor.
