Category: Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk (or oat milk for dairy-free)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (grade A dark
- robust taste)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- packed
- 1 tbsp cream cheese (softened
- for extra creaminess)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp maple extract (optional
- for an extra maple punch)
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 cup candied pecans
- chopped (for mix-in)
- 2 tbsp maple caramel sauce (for mix-in
- optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, pure maple syrup, brown sugar, softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, maple extract (if using), and sea salt until completely smooth and the cream cheese is fully incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into a Ninja CREAMi pint container.
- Place the lid on the pint and freeze for at least 24 hours at -7°F (-22°C) or colder, ensuring it's on a flat surface.
- Once frozen solid, remove the pint from the freezer and place it into the outer bowl. Secure the outer bowl lid with the paddle.
- Select the 'LITE ICE CREAM' function on your Ninja CREAMi. (If using full-fat milk and cream, 'ICE CREAM' works too!)
- After the first spin, if the mixture is crumbly or powdery, select the 'RESPIN' function to achieve a smoother consistency.
- Create a well in the center of the pint, approximately 1.5 inches wide, extending to the bottom.
- Add the chopped candied pecans and maple caramel sauce (if using) into the well.
- Place the pint back into the outer bowl, secure the lid, and select the 'MIX-IN' function.
- Once the mix-ins are perfectly incorporated, scoop out your glorious Autumn's Golden Pecan Dream Swirl and serve immediately!
