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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Slowly add the whole milk into the cream cheese mixture, a little at a time, whisking constantly to create a smooth, lump-free base.
Step 3
Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, mixing well until all ingredients are fully combined.
Step 4
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly cold.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to make scooping easier. Serve plain or with your favorite toppings!
