How To Make Cherry Cheesecake Ice Cream
I’ll walk you through the process of how to make this easy no churn ice cream. It starts with the Oreo mixture, then the easy ice cream base. It’s so simple and a GREAT beginner-level recipe for aspiring ice cream makers.
Crush Oreos
Place Oreos and softened butter in the bowl of a food processor or blender.
Pulse until the cookies and butter become crumbly and stick together. This can take several pulses. Set aside once it’s crumbled.
It’s ok to leave some large pieces, it’ll just add to the texture of the ice cream in the end.
Make Ice Cream Base
In a large bowl add the cream cheese, whipped topping, sweetened condensed milk, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer to blend thoroughly until the mixture is smooth.
ADD OREOS AND CHERRIES
Pour the cookie mixture into the center of the ice cream base, then the cherry pie filling on top of that. DO NOT STIR!
GENTLY FOLD TOGETHER
Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the cookies and pie filling, two or three strokes is all you need. DO NOT OVER MIX!
PRO TIP: Over-mixing can cause the air to be knocked out of the ice cream and when it freezes, the texture can become icy and crunchy. Folding is best for the best ice cream texture.
FREEZE
Pour the mixture into a bread loaf pan, or your preferred freezer container, cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. Scoop and Enjoy!
Tips and Variations
- You can add a half cup of mini chocolate chips in place of the Oreos for a fun twist!
- Make sure you don’t stir the mixture too much, it can become liquidy and the frozen texture won’t be as good.
- Try strawberry or raspberry pie filling for a different but delicious flavor!
How To Store Ice Cream
You can cover and store this ice cream for up to 1 month. After that, the cookie texture changes, and the ice cream can develop a freezer-burn taste.
Can I Double This Recipe?
Yes! You can simply put the ice cream into two different containers to freeze.
If you place the mixture into one large container for freezing, the time it takes to freeze will double to about 8 hours.

Mother’s always feel unappreciated, but in the end your family knows you do so many things for them and couldn’t do anything without you there pointing them in the right direction. I know how men never seem to realize all a woman does during the day and you can get pretty depressed about it, but they surely mean well. Like my husband says, he can’t read my mind, just ask for help. Anyway, your ice cream looks delicious and I am going to have to try this — soon!! Hang in there, we all can commiserate with you.
Shawn
Thanks Nancy! Hopefully one day they too, will look back and thank me, like I am now thanking my mom! 🙂

So this looks drool worthy! Gorgeous photos!!! And I can relate to the whole diaper thing! We always seemed to be running low at the worst moments with my girls. But now, we have Amazon Prime and we’re part of that Amazon Mom thing and we get all our diapers, wipes, diaper genie refills, and dishwasher soap shipped to our house. I have yet to make a mad dash to the store because we’re low on diapers. You should check it out! You save 20%!

Oh my gosh! I love this post. It don’t get any better when they get older…then you just get more P.O.’d because by the time they’re teens you would think all the training you gave them to thank, and be thankful would have sunk in and they would thank their momma once and a while! Erg fricken kids can’t live with can’t live with out um!! I must say I do love being a momma even though it has it’s ups and downs…thank goodness for beer and ice cream ; D Hang in there lady jane!

OH, I love it. LOVE. And OMG you’re preaching to the choir. Why is it that I’m pulling my hair out because of all-the-things all over the place when my family just sits and watches TV? #noappreciation 😉

This is delicious and cream cheesy beyond belief! The crushed oreos are so much better than chocolate chunks, not hard at all.
