Ingredients
Ice Cream Base Ingredients:
8 oz room temperature cream cheese
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup plain kefir
1 cup whole milk
1 tbsp bourbon vanilla bean paste
Speculaas Spice Mix (Keep in Your Pantry All Season!):
8 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ground clove
2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp ground coriander
Caramelized SugarBee Apple Mix-In:
1 SugarBee Apple, diced small
1 tbsp butter
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp Speculaas spice mixture
Instructions
Prepare the Ice Cream Base: The night before, combine cream cheese, sugar, kefir, milk, and vanilla bean paste. Whisk until smooth. Pour mixture into your Ninja Creami Deluxe pint container and freeze for at least 8 hours.
Make the Apple Mix-In: The next day, dice the SugarBee Apple into small pieces.
In a cast iron skillet, melt butter, then add apples, brown sugar, and Speculaas spice mix. Sauté until the apples are slightly soft and the juices caramelize. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until fully cooled.
Process the Ice Cream: Remove the frozen base from the freezer and run it through the Ninja Creami Deluxe on ‘Ice Cream’ mode. Follow with a ‘Re-Spin’ cycle to ensure creaminess.
Add the Apple Mix-In: Once the apples are cooled, add them to the ice cream and run through ‘Mix-In’ mode.
Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or refreeze for a firmer scoop. Optional toppings: caramel sauce and fresh sliced SugarBee Apples.
