Crust Mixture
- 12 Oreos
- 4 tbsp butter (softened)
Main Ice Cream Mixture
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 8 oz whipped topping (thawed)
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup vanilla yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- Prepare Cookie Mixture: Place the Oreos and softened butter into a food processor and pulse until the mixture becomes crumbly and sticks together. Once combined, set this mixture aside for later use.
- Mix Cream Cheese Base: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, thawed whipped topping, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla yogurt, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer to blend everything thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Layer Ingredients: Pour the cookie crumb mixture into the center of the creamy base, then add the cherry pie filling on top of that layer. Be careful to not stir the layers immediately.
- Gently Fold Together: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the cookie crumbs and cherry pie filling into the cream cheese mixture using just two or three strokes. Avoid over mixing to maintain texture and distinct layers.
- Freeze: Transfer the mixture into a bread loaf pan or your preferred freezer-safe container. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.
- Serve: Once frozen, scoop the ice cream and enjoy a luscious slice of cherry cheesecake in frozen form.
Notes
- Softening the cream cheese and butter makes mixing smoother and ensures even distribution.
- Do not over mix after adding the cookie crumbs and cherry filling to maintain texture.
- You can substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings like blueberry or strawberry for variation.
- Use a bread loaf pan or freezer-safe container with a lid for easy storage and shaping.
- Let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping for easier serving.
