In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons of the milk and cornstarch and set aside. In another large bowl, whisk the softened cream cheese until very smooth. In a saucepan, combine remaining milk with the heavy cream, granulated sugar and corn syrup. Bring to boil over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

Transfer the custard to the prepared ice bath, and allow to chill for at least 30 minutes, stirring at least 3-4 times. Transfer the custard into a prepared ice cream maker, and process according to the manufactures instructions. Transfer the soft ice cream into a freezer safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
