I had watched a YouTube video and the presenter claimed to be using recipes from the book and it called for cream cheese. I am happy to know that that’s an error.

 

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.
