Servings: 1 Pint
Calories: 915kcal
Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 8 Fluid Ounces Milk Whole
- 6 Fluid Ounces Half and Half
- ¼ Cup Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Cream Cheese Room temperature
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste
Mix-ins
- 2 Miniature Cherry Pies 1 Ounce Pies ( I used Hostess 100 calorie pies)
- ¼ Cup Canned Cherry Pie Filling
Optional
- 1-2 Tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Make the Ice Cream Mixture
- Pour the milk, half and half, sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla bean paste into a small blender and blend until all ingredients are fully combined. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container.
- Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours. Your freezer should be between 9 and -7 degrees Fahrenheit. To avoid getting a bump on the top of the frozen mixture, freeze with the lid off of the container.
Process the Ice Cream
- After 24 hours, remove the pint container from the freezer.
- Place the pint container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami and then process on “ICE CREAM."
- If the ice cream is dry or crumbly looking (like sand), pour in a tablespoon or two of milk and then re-spin. If the ice cream looks like little balls of ice cream, respin without adding liquid. You may have to repeat this process a couple of times.
- Dig a well down the center of the ice cream and pour in the cherry pies and the cherry pie filling down the center of the hole. Process on mix-ins.
- Remove the pint from the machine and enjoy!

Notes
What type of cherries are used to make cherry pie ice cream?
Canned cherry pie filling is used for this recipe. Using fresh cherries or just canned cherries will provide a different outcome. The canned pie filling is not just cherries. The pie filling has a thick sauce in the can that helps add a lot of flavor and sweetness.
Is cherry ice cream made from actual pie?
Sort of. Mini cherry pies were used in addition to cherry pie filling. You can use a slice of regular, cooked cherry pie instead of the mini pies. But, the recipe is not just cherry pie. You will need to make the base recipe and add the pie and pie filling as mix-ins. Adding the pie to the base recipe tends to create a grainy texture from the pie crust. Adding the pie as a mix-in creates a better overall texture.
