Instructions

Make the Ice Cream Mixture

Pour the milk, yogurt, allulose, vanilla bean paste, cherries, and guar gum into a small blender and blend until all ingredients are fully combined. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami container.
Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours. Your freezer should be between 9 and -7 degrees Fahrenheit.

Process the Ice Cream

After 24 hours, remove the Ninja Creami container from the freezer. If there is a large bump in the frozen yogurt, melt or scrape the large bump so that the top is level.
Place the Ninja Creami container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami and then process on "LITE ICE CREAM."
If the frozen yogurt is dry or crumbly looking (like sand), pour in a tablespoon or two of milk and then re-spin. If the ice cream looks more like little balls of ice cream, re-spin without adding liquid. You may have to respin a couple of times. Keep in mind that you will be adding cherries as mix-ins and they will make the frozen yogurt creamy.
Dig a well down the center of the ice cream, pour in cherries, and process on “MIX-INS.”

Notes

Should the frozen yogurt be frozen with the lids on or off?

Sometimes, freezing the mixture with the lid off can help reduce the likelihood that a large bump will develop on the top of the ice cream. This works sometimes, but not all of the time. The ingredients that are used and the type and temperature of the freezer can also impact this.

I’ve gone back to freezing with the lids on all the time. If there’s a large bump, I either melt it down with a ziplock bag of warm water placed on the top of the ice cream for a few minutes or use a spoon or vegetable peeler to shave it down so that it’s level, before processing.

Can cherry yogurt be used instead of vanilla?

Using cherry yogurt can add a little extra cherry flavor, but depending on the yogurt, it can also increase the calories and sugar content.

The vanilla yogurt works great since it’s easy to find and the cherries added in create the right amount of cherry flavor.
