Place the pint container in the freezer and freeze for at least 18-24 hours.
After freezing, remove the pint container from the freezer and place it into the Ninja Creami machine. Attach the pint holder lid and lock it into place. Select the "Ice Cream" setting and let the Ninja Creami process the mixture. *see notes
Scoop the cherry ice cream into bowls and top with your favorite toppings

Make sure your cherries are nice and sweet. If they’re tart, go with store-bought jarred cherries like maraschinos.
If your mixture is still crumbly after the first spin, just hit the "Respin" button and keep going until it’s nice and creamy. Adding a tablespoon of cream or milk can help speed things up.
Normally, if you let it sit out for 5 to 10 minutes after taking it out of the freezer, it usually won't need any spin.
