Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- ¼ cup powdered sweetener sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon maple extract
- 2 oz cream cheese
- ¼ teaspoon guar gum optional
- ¼ cup chopped walnut pieces
Instructions
- Use the multiplier above to adjust quantities based on your machine: 1X for Original 7 in 1 (16 ounces) and 1.5X for Deluxe (24 ounces).
- Add the almond milk, cream cheese, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, maple extract, and guar gum (if using) to a blender. Don't add the walnuts yet
- Blend on high until completely smooth, with no visible chunks of cream cheese
- Taste and adjust. Add more maple extract for a stronger maple flavour, or more sweetener if you like it sweeter
- Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container
- Freeze for at least 24 hours, until completely solid
- Put the frozen pint in the Ninja Creami and process on the Lite Ice Cream setting
- If it looks crumbly, powdery, or dry after the spin, add a splash of milk or cream and respin until smooth and creamy
- Fold the chopped walnut pieces in by hand so they stay crunchy
- Scoop into bowls and top with a few extra chopped walnuts
Notes
- Soften the cream cheese first so it blends in faster
- Use powdered sweetener, not granulated, because granulated won't fully dissolve in the cold base
