Ice cream

Combine softened cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl, then beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add vanilla extract (or maple extract) to the mixture and stir until evenly incorporated.

Pour heavy cream and light cream into the bowl with the cream cheese mixture.

Beat the entire mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, approximately 3-4 minutes, ensuring a smooth and airy texture.

Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.

Remove from freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the ice cream to soften slightly for easier scooping, then serve in bowls or cones.
