It's not an error - the basic recipes in the book do call for cream cheese (just a tablespoon) but a lot of them don't. I certainly won't be using it so we will see if something needs to be substituted or not. I will likely get some non-dairy cream cheese if leaving it out doesn't give satisfactory results.
Jeni's ice cream recipes usually call for cream cheese and I seem to remember a discussion somewhere here about what the effect was. Possibly that can shed some light on a substitute or two.
