Step 1

Assemble all of your ingredients and make sure to soften the cream cheese either by microwave or by leaving it out beforehand.

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.

Step 3

Pour the batter inside an ice cream maker and leave until partially frozen (about 45 minutes).
