Prepare the base

  1. Warm the oat milk and plant-based whipping cream in a small saucepan over low heat until steaming but not boiling, then remove from the heat.

  2. Place the sugar in a separate medium saucepan over medium heat. Let it melt, stirring only when necessary, until it is completely liquid and reaches a deep amber color.

  3. Remove the caramel from the heat and carefully stir in the vegan butter. The mixture will bubble vigorously.

  4. Slowly whisk the warm oat milk and cream into the caramel. Return the saucepan to low heat and stir until any hardened caramel has completely dissolved.

  5. Add the vegan cream cheese, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend with an immersion blender until completely smooth, then let the base cool to room temperature.

Freeze and spin

  1. Pour the mixture into a Ninja CREAMi pint, without exceeding the MAX FILL line.

  2. Close with the storage lid and freeze flat for 24 hours.

  3. Once fully frozen, run the ICE CREAM program.

  4. If the texture is powdery or crumbly after the first cycle, run RE-SPIN.

Serve

Serve immediately, while the ice cream is still nice and creamy.

Storing leftovers

Flatten any remaining ice cream to level the surface before returning the pint to the freezer. This will make the next spin easier and reduce unnecessary strain on the machine. Learn more about after-serving habits.

Tips

  • Use a light-colored saucepan so you can judge the caramel color before it becomes bitter.
  • Choose neutral-tasting dairy-free cream and vegan butter so the caramel remains the dominant flavor.
  • Caramel is extremely hot; add the warm liquid slowly and keep your hands clear of the steam.
