Cherry Cheesecake Ice Cream Recipe: How to Make It

  • Start by whipping very cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Once the cream is whipped, gently fold in sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and softened cream cheese until smooth to maintain that fluffy, airy texture.
  • Gently swirl in cherry pie filling, then pour the mixture into a loaf pan and freeze for at least 6 hours, although freezing overnight gives the best results for scoopable, creamy ice cream.
  • When ready to serve, scoop into cones or bowls and top with extra cherry filling, maraschino cherries, or your favorite toppings for a creamy, dreamy dessert recipe!

Pro Tips: Add some crunch by sprinkling in some crushed graham crackers or shortbread cookies before freezing to give it that full cheesecake vibe. Or try different pie fillings like blueberry or strawberry for fun flavor variations.

What if I don’t have a loaf pan?

Any freezer-safe container with a lid will work—just be sure to spread the mixture evenly.

Do I need an ice cream maker?

Nope! That’s the beauty of no-churn ice cream—no special equipment required.

How do I keep the ice cream soft enough to scoop?

Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping for best results.
