Notes

Do you need to use cream cheese to make Ninja Creami ice cream?

No. You do not need to use cream cheese to make Ninja Creami ice cream. The cream cheese acts as the stabilizer and a thickener and there are many substitutes that can be used. My favorite substitute is instant pudding mix. You can use sugar-free or regular instant pudding. See the full list of stabilizers that can be used here: Stabilizers

What's the best way to mix the Ninja Creami ingredients together before freezing?

Some recipes do better if they are mixed or blended before freezing. If you just need to mix the ingredients together, like in this recipe, an immersion blender or milk frother will work well. If you are mixing fruit or larger, chunkier ingredients, use a bullet blender or regular blender.
