Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions
 

  • Add the milk, heavy cream, sugar, cream cheese, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender.
  • Process until fully mixed.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight. If your ice cream maker requires you to do so, add in your ice cream maker bowl to your freezer.
  • The next day, remove the mixture from your fridge and your ice cream bowl from your freezer.
  • Add the ice cream bowl to the ice cream maker and pour in the cream mixture.
  • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to churn into ice cream (mine took about 15 minutes).
  • When it resembles soft serve ice cream, add in the coconut flakes and churn for 5 more minutes.
  • Scoop the mixture into a freezer safe container.
  • Add to your freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
