Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

8 Fluid Ounces Whole Milk
4 Fluid Ounces Half and Half
2 Tablespoons Cheesecake Flavored Instant Pudding Mix
¼ Cup Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste
4-5 Strawberries Medium Sized- cut in quarters

Instructions

Make the Ice Cream Mixture

Pour the milk, half and half, pudding mix, sugar, vanilla bean paste, and strawberries 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 graham crackers down the center of the hole. Process on mix-ins.
Remove the pint from the machine and enjoy!

Notes

Is there actual cheesecake in Ninja Creami strawberry cheesecake ice cream?

While you can add chunks of actual cheesecake to your ice cream base or as mix-ins, there is no actual cheesecake in this recipe. Instead, we are using cheesecake flavored instant pudding mix to create the cheesecake flavor.

Can frozen fruit be used in the Ninja Creami?

Yes, frozen fruit can be used in the Ninja Creami. However, just frozen fruit cannot be used. To use frozen fruit you need to blend the fruit so that it creates a cohesive mixture that can be poured into the Creami container and frozen in that container. When blending you can blend only the fruit or you can add other ingredients like milk, sugar, juice, protein shakes, etc.. Or, you can thaw the fruit and then pour it in the Creami container and freeze. The goal is to have no gaps between the pieces of frozen fruit and no areas where those gaps are filled with plain water. You cannot process frozen fruit straight out of the freezer to make a smoothie. All frozen fruit needs to be refrozen in the Creami container with no gaps and then processed.
