Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams Cream cheese
- 240 milliliters Whole milk
- 480 milliliters Heavy cream
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and salt. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
Slowly add the whole milk into the cream cheese mixture, a little at a time, whisking constantly to create a smooth, lump-free base.
Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, mixing well until all ingredients are fully combined.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly cold.
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically for about 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a creamy, soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream into a lidded, freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2-4 hours to allow it to firm up.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to make scooping easier. Serve plain or with your favorite toppings!
