  • Step 2

    Place all the ingredients together inside a blender and blend until creamy. Make sure not to over blend and make the cream into butter. Note: If your batter is a little grainy from the cream cheese, that's okay. The granules will form delicious cinnamon cream cheese pockets as it freezes.
