This Boozy Cherry Garcia Ice Cream is a creamy, indulgent dessert with dark cherries, rich chocolate chips, and a splash of cherry whiskey for a grown-up twist. Made effortlessly with the Ninja Creami, it’s the perfect treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base:

  • 1½ cups whole milk (full-fat recommended)
  • ½ cup half-and-half
  • 2 tbsp vanilla instant pudding mix (about half a small package)
  • 2 tbsp cherry syrup

Mix-ins:

  • ½ cup dark cherries (halved, fresh or frozen)
  • 2–3 tbsp mini chocolate cuts

Optional:

  • 1–2 tbsp milk (for adjusting texture during processing)

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Base

Whisk together whole milk, half-and-half, vanilla pudding mix, and cherry whiskey in a bowl until smooth and slightly thickened (about 1–2 minutes).

Step 2: Freeze the Base

Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it doesn’t exceed the max fill line. Cover with a lid and freeze for at least 24 hours until completely solid.

Step 3: Spin the Ice Cream

Remove the frozen pint from the freezer and place it in the Ninja Creami machine. Select the “Ice Cream” setting and process until smooth.

Step 4: Add the Mix-ins

  • Make a hole in the center of the processed ice cream and add halved cherries. Use the “Mix-In” setting to combine.
  • Repeat with the mini chocolate chips to blend everything evenly.

Step 5: Optional Adjustments

If the ice cream is crumbly or too firm, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and re-spin using the “Ice Cream” setting.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve in chilled bowls or waffle cones to keep the ice cream from melting too quickly.
  • Pair with brownies or warm cookies for a decadent combo.

Tips & Tricks:

  • No whiskey? Replace it with cherry syrup for a kid-friendly version.
  • Dairy-free? Use almond or oat milk, and opt for dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • Make multiple pints in advance so you have a ready-to-spin treat anytime.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Store any leftovers in the pint container with the lid secured.
  • It will keep in the freezer for up to 1 week. If it hardens, re-spin with the Ninja Creami for a creamy texture before serving.
