A test kitchen favorite. Creamy scoops with chips.

You need

• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (mix-in)

Steps

1. Microwave the cream cheese 10 seconds in a big bowl.
2. Add the sugar and vanilla. Whisk about a minute until it looks like frosting.
3. Slowly mix in the cream and milk until the sugar is gone.
4. Pour into an empty pint (base closed).
5. After spinning: poke a 1 1/2-inch hole to the bottom, add the chips, and press Mix-In.
6. Lid on. Freeze flat for 24 hours.
7. Press Scoop, then Ice Cream.
8. Take the pint out and scoop.

Dairy-free: Use vegan cream cheese, unsweetened coconut cream (whisk it smooth first) and unsweetened oat milk.

🌿 Make it healthier: Use 1/2 tsp stevia and 2 1/2 tbsp agave for the sugar. Spin on Scoop, Lite Ice Cream.
