1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
2 tbsp graham cracker crumbs
Instructions

3. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon flavor as desired.
4. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container and smooth the top.
5. Freeze for 8–12 hours until completely solid.
6. Place the frozen pint into the Ninja Creami and run the Ice Cream or Lite Ice Cream function.
7. If the texture is crumbly, use the Re-spin function and add 1 tbsp milk if needed.
8. Add graham cracker crumbs and use the Mix-In function.
9. Serve immediately or refreeze for a firmer texture.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese for a smoother blend and better texture.
