    Can I add alcohol to my Ninja Creami creations?

    Yes! In fact, if you add a small amount of alcohol to the bases, the ice cream will be a little softer and easier to scoop, even after putting it back in the freezer. Don't add too much alcohol though. Adding too much alcohol will not allow it to freeze all the way and may be too soft.

    What type of cherries should I use?

    Frozen, black cherries were used in this recipe. You can use fresh or frozen cherries. Jarred maraschino cherries could also be used if that's all you have on hand, but they are much sweeter and taste more like sugar than fresh or frozen cherries.

    Why is my ice cream dry and crumbly?

    Usually, if your ice cream comes out dry or crumbly it's due to one of the following reasons:
    *Your freezer is too cold. Try to adjust your freezer to be a little warmer or let your ice cream sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes before processing it.
    *Your recipe does not have enough fat in it. Try adding in a little bit of a higher fat dairy product to your recipe next time.
    *Your recipe may not have enough sugar in it. The less sugar in the recipe, the icier and crumblier the ice cream will be. Regular sugar, honey, or corn syrup can be used to increase the sugar content if desired.

    How long can I freeze my ice cream?

    It depends. If you are keeping the ice cream in the Ninja pint container with the lid sealed tightly and are freezing it in a cold freezer (between 9 degrees F and -7 degrees F), your ice cream will keep for several weeks, even months. However, if you transfer your ice cream to another container or freeze it in a freezer that is not quite as cold (or that is accessed a lot/door opened and closed often), the lifetime of your ice cream will decrease greatly to just a few days and you will likely end up with freezer-burned ice cream.

    How do I get creamier ice cream with the Ninja Creami?

    If you have made ice cream and it just isn’t quite as creami as you would like, you can very easily get it super creami by using the re-spin function on the Ninja Creami. Simply place the pint into the outer bowl and snap it into place. Choose the RE-SPIN function. Once the cycle completes, remove the pint and enjoy! Your gelato should be nice and creamy again. ***Use re-spin on already spun ice cream. If the ice cream has been spun and then frozen again, do not use re-spin, Instead, use the original process (ice cream, gelato, etc.)

    Ingredient substitutions and tips for making Ninja Creami Boozy Cherry Garcia Ice Cream:


    The full ingredient list is found at the bottom of the post in the recipe card.

    Vanilla Pudding Mix- If you don't have instant vanilla pudding mix, you can make your own! Here's a recipe that we found: DIY Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix.

    Milk- Whole milk was used for this recipe. You can use lower-fat content milk but the end result may be less rich and creamy due to the lower fat content.

    Lactose-Free Half and Half- Regular half and half can be used if you would prefer.

    Cherry Whiskey-
    The whiskey can be omitted or you can use bourbon, dark rum or brandy. The flavor will be based on the flavor of the liquor that you use.

    Black Cherries
    - Black lack cherries were used in this recipe. You can use fresh or frozen cherries. Jarred maraschino cherries could also be used if that's all you have on hand, but they are much sweeter and taste more like sugar than fresh or frozen cherries.

    Chocolate Chips- Any kind of chocolate will work here! So, if you only have a chocolate bar, you can break that up and use it. Any size or shape of chocolate chips will work too. Just make sure that the pieces are small enough to get broken down with the mix-in process.

      I am going to try this recipe, but I think I don't do chocolate mix.
      Do you think still sweetness satisfied for only fresh black cherry and vanilla pudding mix ??

      Thank you .

        Do you mean that you don't want to add in the chocolate chips? You can omit those if you would like. The base recipe will still be good- it just won't have the bits of chocolate mixed in.

            Yes- it should come out still sweet since there is sweetener in the base recipe.
