- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon

- Pour the base into a Ninja Creami Deluxe 24-ounce pint without going over the max fill line. Freeze on a flat surface for 24 hours.
- Remove the lid, place the pint in the outer bowl, attach the paddle lid, and lock it into the machine. Press Ice Cream.
- If it's crumbly, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of half and half to a small well in the center and press Respin.
- For mix-ins, make a well in the center, add them, and run the Mix-In program.
- Serve right away, or freeze for 15 minutes for a firmer scoop.
Notes
- Soften the cream cheese before blending. Cold cream cheese leaves lumps that freeze into grainy spots.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest, thickest pint.
- Want a stronger churro flavor? Add a pinch more cinnamon or salt next time.
- If the pint freezes rock hard, let it sit on the counter for 5 minutes before spinning.
- Want more protein? Replace the cream cheese with ½ cup cottage cheese, blended until completely smooth.
- Add mix-ins after spinning, never before freezing, so they stay crunchy.
- Original Creami (16-ounce pint): Make two-thirds of the recipe and stay under the max fill line.
- Leftovers: Smooth the top, cover, and freeze for up to 2 weeks. Respin before serving.
