Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 4 ounces (113 g) cream cheese room temperature
- ⅓ cup (66 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (120 g) Lifeway Plain Kefir low fat or whole milk
- ½ cup (120 g) milk 2% or whole

- 1 medium apple washed, peeled, and cut into ½-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon (14 g) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (25 g) brown sugar light or dark, packed
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Optional Topping

Instructions
Ice Cream Base
- In a small/medium bowl, mix the cream cheese & sugar until smooth.
- Carefully stir in the kefir and milk until combined well.
- Pour into Ninja Creami pint, secure lid, and freeze for at least 8 hours.
Apple Pie Filling
- Add apple pieces, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small/medium skillet over low heat. Mix every minute or so, so it doesn’t burn.
- Once the apples are slightly soft, remove from heat and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you're ready to make the ice cream.
Make the Ice Cream
- Run frozen pint through the Ninja Creami's Ice Cream setting. Re-Spin until mostly smooth.
- Add the apple pie filling & run it through the Mix-In setting.
- Scoop (or swirl if you have the Ninja Creami Swirl) into a bowl or ice cream cone, and enjoy!
Notes
Leftovers: If you have leftover ice cream, cover and freeze in an airtight container for 1 week. Thaw at room temperature until soft, or run it through the Re-Spin setting.
Kefir: This recipe is sponsored by Lifeway Foods, but all opinions are my own.
