Do you ever have one of those days where you just crave ALL the junk food?
Potato chips, pretzels, cookies, ice cream…pretty much anything and everything but a normal, balanced meal?
I will be the first one to raise my hand and admit this. And I’m not much of a snacker, but ever since I started blogging full-time, I feel like my eating habits are out of whack.
I often make savory dishes and desserts in the morning, just so I can get that perfect glow of sunlight for when I photographing recipes. And that often starts out my day on the wrong track. I’ll have some coffee and yogurt for breakfast, but by 10am, I’m often indulging in some sweet treats or late-night snacks…you know, recipe testing to make sure everything turns out to my specifications.
But, it could be worse, right? After all, I get to make recipes and share them with you for a living. I really do have the best job, even if I do eat ice cream as soon as the sun comes up.
And since summer is in full bloom, I’ve been craving ice cream like crazy.
I’ve mentioned and I’ll say it again, but the hubster is an ice cream fanatic. It’s safe to say that you can find at least a gallon (or three) of ice cream stocked in our freezer at all times. The hubster often indulges in bowl as a late night treat, no matter the weather or season. But come summer, his cravings really kick into gear. That’s what the warm weather will do to you, right?
Since I love creating new recipes and you also love my no-churn ice creams, I decided to whip up another batch that just screams summer and all things cool and creamy.

Um, I crave all the junk food EVERY day. Not the salty stuff, but oh the chocolate.
And this cheesecake flair in the cherry is making me VERY happy! Gorgeous!
Glad I’m not the only one with my junk food cravings! π Thanks for the ice cream love!
YES!!! I generally try to eat on the healthier side, but then there are days when I’m like just give me all the chips, all the chocolate, or the junky goodness that I can put my little hands on. I feel ya, girl! Then, I get that out of my system and I’m good for a little bit (until the next time, lol). Hubby is not a huge huge fan of ice-cream, so if I make this, then there’s more for me! I love that it’s no churn and there’s cream cheese in there. I bet this tastes out of this world delicious. And such a classic Summer flavour with the cherry! Pinned, of course. Have a fantastic weekend, Gayle π
Thanks for the ice cream love, Dawn! More ice cream for you is always a good thing, right? π Hope you have a great weekend, too!
Yep, our eating schedules are definitely a little crazy thanks to working around the sunlight! There could definitely be worse things than eating cherry cheesecake ice cream at 11 a.m., though! π
Ice cream anytime of the day is never a bad thing, right? π Thanks, Blair!
I LOVE no churn ice creams! They are seriously so easy and can satisfy my ice cream cravings anytime. I’ve never made a cheesecake flavored ice cream but that needs to change soon. This looks fabulous, Gayle!

can you use other fillings like strawberry instead of the cherry?
Hi Katie! Yes, other kinds of filling would work perfectly. I’ve made it with blueberry filling before and it’s turned out just as delicious. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you love this!
