Equipment

1 Ninja CREAMi Deluxe 11-in-1 Ice Cream & Frozen Treat Maker
1 Blender
24 oz Ninja Creami Pint Container

Ingredients

1½ cups Honeycrisp apple cider
⅓ cup Half and half
⅓ cup Muscovado sugar or brown sugar
⅓ cup Cream cheese
½ teaspoon Cinnamon powder

Instructions

Blend the base: In a blender, combine apple cider, half and half, muscovado sugar, cream cheese, and cinnamon. Blend until smooth.
1½ cups Honeycrisp apple cider , ⅓ cup Half and half , ⅓ cup Muscovado sugar or brown sugar, ⅓ cup Cream cheese , ½ teaspoon Cinnamon powder
Freeze the mix: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Freeze for 24 hours.
Process in Ninja Creami: Use the "Ice Cream" function to process the frozen base.
Optional re-spin: If needed, re-spin for a creamier texture.
Customize: Add mix-ins like caramel or nuts, then re-spin.

Notes

Apple cider vs. apple juice or apple cider vinegar: Double check the label. All three are often shelved near each other, and only apple cider will give you the right flavor here.

Muscovado sugar substitution: If you can't find muscovado, dark brown sugar is the closest substitute. Light brown sugar works too, but the flavor will be milder.

Crumbly texture fix: If the ice cream looks crumbly after the first spin, add 1 tablespoon of apple cider or milk and re-spin. Repeat once more if needed.

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.

Yield note: This recipe fits one standard Ninja Creami pint (16 oz). If you're using the larger Deluxe pint, you can scale the recipe up by about 50% to fill it properly.
