Ingredients
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 4 tbsp instant cheesecake pudding mix
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup cherry pie filling
Substitutions:
- Dairy-free: Swap whole milk with almond or coconut milk and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
- Low-sugar: Replace cherry pie filling with fresh cherries sweetened to taste.
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Base
In a bowl, whisk whole milk and cheesecake pudding mix until no lumps remain. The mixture will thicken slightly.
Step 2: Add Remaining Ingredients
Gently stir in heavy cream, vanilla extract, and cherry pie filling. Don’t overmix to keep cherry chunks intact.
Step 3: Freeze
Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, leaving room at the top. Seal tightly and freeze for 24 hours.
Step 4: Process
Attach the frozen pint to your Ninja Creami, process using the “Ice Cream” setting, and watch magic unfold.
Step 5: Adjust Texture
If the texture looks crumbly, select “Re-spin.” Add 1–2 tbsp milk and re-spin again if needed for smooth consistency.
Step 6: Optional Mix-Ins
For extra fun, dig a small well in the ice cream and add crushed graham crackers or chocolate chips. Use the “Mix-In” setting.
Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve in chilled bowls or waffle cones.
- Top with fresh cherries or graham cracker crumbs for extra flavor.
Tips & Tricks:
- Don’t overfill the pint—it needs space to expand as it freezes.
- Use high-quality cherry pie filling for the best results.
Storage:
- Store leftovers in the same pint container. Keeps well in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before scooping for easier serving.
