Tips

  • Soften the cream cheese properly, or tiny lumps stay in the base.
  • For a stronger vanilla, use the seeds of half a vanilla pod or 1 tsp vanilla bean paste.
  • Leftovers: smooth the top flat, refreeze, then run the program again before serving.

Why it works

Cream cheese adds body and keeps ice crystals small, and sugar lowers the freezing point so the tubpint spins creamy instead of icy.
