Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 4 tbsp instant cheesecake pudding mix (half of a small box)
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup cherry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base:
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and cheesecake pudding mix until smooth and slightly thickened. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the cherry pie filling until evenly combined.
  2. Freeze:
    Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it doesn’t exceed the MAX FILL line. Secure the lid and freeze on a flat surface for at least 24 hours.
  3. Process in Ninja Creami:
    Remove the pint from the freezer and place it into the outer bowl of your Ninja Creami machine. Lock it into place and select the “Ice Cream” function to process.
  4. Adjust Texture (if needed):
    If the ice cream appears crumbly after processing, use the “Re-spin” function to achieve a smooth consistency. If still crumbly, add 1 tablespoon of milk and re-spin again.
  5. Optional Mix-ins:
    For added texture, create a small well in the center of the ice cream, add mix-ins like crushed graham crackers or chocolate chips, and use the “Mix-In” function to incorporate.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

Serve in dessert bowls topped with fresh cherries, whipped cream, or crushed graham crackers for an extra indulgent touch.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Use high-quality cherry pie filling for better flavor. Lightly mash some cherries for added texture if desired.
  • If using sugar-free pudding mix or pie filling, consider using the “Lite Ice Cream” setting for optimal results.

Storage & Reheating:

Store leftovers in the pint container with a secure lid for up to 2 weeks in the freezer. Let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before scooping to soften slightly without compromising texture.
