Ingredients
  

For the Ice Cream Base
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Provides structure and creaminess; try mascarpone for extra richness.
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens and enhances flavors; coconut sugar or a sugar alternative works for lower-calorie indulgence.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Adds depth to flavor; using pure vanilla extract yields the best results.
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream Contributes to a rich, creamy texture; substitute it with coconut cream for a non-dairy option.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Balances creaminess and sweetness; opt for lactose-free milk if needed.
  • 1 tsp Mint Extract Delivers that signature cooling mint flavor; ensure to use high-quality extract for the best taste.
For the Mix-Ins
  • 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips Adds delightful bursts of flavor and texture; swap for dark chocolate chunks for a richer taste.
Optional Touches
  • 1 drop Green Food Coloring For a vibrant mint color, though you can omit it for a more natural appearance.

Equipment

  • Ninja Creami

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Soften Cream Cheese: Begin by microwaving the cream cheese for about 10 seconds to soften it, allowing it to blend smoothly. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and mint extract, stirring until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Gradually pour in the heavy cream and whole milk into the cream cheese mixture, mixing thoroughly until fully incorporated. If you desire a vibrant green hue, add a few drops of green food coloring at this stage.
  3. Freeze Base: Pour your mint chocolate chip ice cream base into the Ninja Creami pint and place it in the freezer. Allow the mix to freeze for at least 24 hours.
  4. Setup for Processing: Remove the pint from the freezer and attach the Creamerizer™ Paddle securely to the lid of the Ninja Creami outer bowl.
  5. Select Ice Cream Setting: Turn on your Ninja Creami and select the ICE CREAM setting. This process will take a few minutes.
  6. Add Mix-Ins: Once the ice cream has been churned, carefully create a small hole in the center of the processed ice cream. Add the mini chocolate chips into this hole.
  7. Serve: Scoop the creamy delight into bowls or cones, and feel free to add toppings like whipped cream or fresh mint leaves.
