- ½ cup Sweetened condensed milk
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Pour the base into a Ninja Creami pint without going over the max fill line. Cover and freeze on a level 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 milk or half and half to a small well in the center and press Respin.
- Crush the graham cracker, add the crumbs to a well in the center, and run the Mix-In program.1 sheet graham cracker
- Serve right away, or level the top and freeze leftovers to respin later.
Notes
- Soften the cream cheese before blending. Cold cream cheese leaves lumps that freeze into hard bits.
- Use full-fat half and half and cream cheese. Lower-fat versions freeze icier and lose the cheesecake texture.
- Use plain pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Pie filling is already sweetened and spiced.
- Freeze on a level surface so the pint freezes and spins evenly.
- If the pint is extremely firm, let it sit 2 to 3 minutes before spinning.
- Original Creami (16-ounce pint): Make two-thirds of the recipe and stay under the max fill line.
- Leftovers: Level the top, cover, and freeze. Respin before serving to bring back the creamy texture.
