2-1/2 cups Turkey Hill Cherry Duetto
1/4 cup chocolate syrup
1 cup milk
6 large ice cubes
Sweetened whipped cream (in can)

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
Sounds delicious – can’t wait to try it!
I really like chocolate covered cherries…and there’s no competition for them in our house…maybe I should try this, too!
This sounds really good!
Love the smooth cherry taste!
Sounds great! Still, I like duetto as it is.
WOW!! This really sounds delicious. I’m going to have to try it.
Wow, great recipe! We will try this one for sure!
Cream cheese in a smoothie? That must be why my smoothies are not as tasty …
wow, looks delicious, we will try this recipe! My three kids will love it!
Delicious–thank you for your recipe! We will be trying this–my three kids will love it!
That sounds amazing!
Sounds delicious!
We may have to go out and buy the ingredients.
We make soomthies but never with cream cheese.
sounds refreshing!
That sounds wonderful.
Why add anything to Turkey Hill ice cream?
I Think I might just give this a try I have never seen Cherry Duetto ice cream in my store may have start looking at other flavors my 3 I normally buy
yum…
Holy Guacamole! That sounds good.
Sounds like a lot of cream cheese in there!
I love chocolate covered cherries so this sounds delightful.
Does anyone know of a good substitute for cream cheese? I have everything else in my refridgerator and pantry to make this delicious treat but no cream cheese
And sadly, I am just really not much of a cook or baker so I wouldn’t know myself. It is probably because ice cream has always served me wonderfully for all the years of my life that I have not needed any other dessert. An ice cold bowl of ice cream has even functioned as a great breakfast, afternoon snack, and substitute meal. It leaves no crumbs, and when you eat out of the carton the only thing you need to clean is a spoon! It has so many other pros like no need for measuring, and virtually no expiration date (at least none that I would come near reaching since one carton doesn’t last longer than 3 days in my freezer). Still this recipe might be good for me to broaden my horizons.
I did not even know that cherry duetto was a flavor of Turkey Hill ice cream! I feel like I have been living under a rock now for years. Unfortunately my grocery store (Giant Food Markets) and Wegmans around Binghamton, NY does not keep this flavor in stock. IN fact, the only duetto flavor that they have is the coconut one. I am tempted right now to order some online, but that would just take too long for it to be delivered. Perhaps I should consider a trip across the border to Pennsylvania as they are more likely to be better stocked with Turkey Hill ice cream. I think that might actually work better because I really want to try it.
You know, before this site I never thought about having receipes for ice cream….
This sounds so delicious and the perfect combination of flavors. I can’t wait to try it!
I mistakenly showed my husband the photo and now I’m off to get him some ice cream.
Sounds absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to give it a try.
Cream cheese in a smoothie? That’s… interesting. Would it work with greek yogurt instead?
I tried it tonight, and was a great combination!!!!!Sent it to many others in an email.
Sounds delicious! MM MM Good!
Cool recipe! Please publish more.
Sounds interesting!
Interesting!
For those of us on diets, must use low-cal cream cheese.
Yum Yum!
OMG! “THANK YOU”!!!; “TURKEY HILL”!!!; “FOR BRING UP THE COVERSATION ENTRY OF THE “DUETTO” ICE CREAM”!
“I HAVE TRYED BASICALLY ALL OF YOUR “DUETTO” FLAVORED ICE CREAMS, EXCEPT FOR MAYBE 1 OR 2 MORE & ALL I CAN SAY IS”,…”HOLY COW”! “WHATEVER COW, GAVE US THE GREAT TASTING PRODUCTION OF IT’S MILK FOR THIS ONE, WITH “TURKEY HILL” COMPANY, NEEDS TO BE MADE INTO A STATUE IN NYC & PUT ON DISPLAY, WITH THE WHOLE “DUETTO” FLAVORED ICED CREAM, FROM “TURKEY HILL” THEME ALL OVER HIM / HER”!!! 
“WAIT”!…”NOW THERE’S A GREAT IDEA”!!! “I THINK I AM ONTO SOMTHING”!?
I’m heading on vacation and the Turkey Hill is packed (can’t buy it there) and now I have another reason to bring my blender!!!!
Sounds great.One weakness of mine is chocolate covered cherries and this sounds terrific.Can’t wait for the grocery store to open.
How many calories in that?
There may be a lot of calories in this recipe but consider it a treat. It’s not something you’ll have on a daily basis. Maybe it can be a reward. Eating plain Turkey Hill ice cream is a reward in itself.
Sounds so good! YUM!
Hi Turkey Hill Fans,
I try it,but i try it again , but i add 1/2 to 1 cup chopped cherrire to it. It taste better when you add more cherries it.
Not a fan of chocolate covered cherries…but the Duetto flavor sounds yummy!
Sounds like a interesting shake.
Sounds really good!!!
I’m not sure about the cream cheese – might just try it without or substitute a yogurt instead.
I like the idea of substituting yogurt for the cream chesse in this smoothie. Sounds delish!
I love your ice cream!
I love the Duetto’s. I will try this!
Souns yummy…..will try it…but I think I would substitute the yogurt for the cream cheese….
Why not just have the Cherry Duetto, chocolate syrup and ice cubes in the blender? Why waste the excellent taste of Turkey Hill with other “junk” ?
Hi everyone
Yes you can use yogurt inplace of cream cream. You can use cherry yogurt or anykind of yogurt inplace of cream cream. It may be better for you. I have try it and it taste good.
Sounds good…….It all sounds good!
Sounds like another wonderful recipe and I will try this today as soon as I get back from the grocery store.
My family says I am spoiling them with all the recipes I’ve been making from Turkey Hill!
Not for this home. I am not a cherry person but a raspberry person. Hubby loves cherries but not a vanilla person. He would like the cherries added to his “Box of Chocolate”
The CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRY DUETTO SMOOTHIE sounds really good. I wonder if you can make it without the cream cheese? I was hoping for one of your great pictures of it!
Seems like it would make a lot of smoothies
ohh sounds good
I will have to try this recipe, I just love cream cheese anything. I will make it just as the recipe. I use the 1/3 fat or no fat cream cheese in my recipes. Thanks for sharing. Linda
Sounds yummy! Can’t wait to try it.
Sounds nice and refreshing for the summer cool off. What could be bad about chocolate and cherry together????????? Love it and need to try making it.
sounds wonderful – chocolate and cherries together! Will definitely be trying this one out.
This recipe sounds sooooo good. I can’t wait to try it. I love chocolate and cherry together.
Thanks, I was looking for a new Smoothie recipe!
I’m sorry I missed those holiday recipes, this is the 2nd one that sounds delicious. Of course, the Cherry Duetto looks good all by itself. Another recipe I’m going to have to try. Thanks.
Hmm sounds good…but I don’t know about the cream cheese part, too many calories for me.
YUMMY! I don’t like the chocolate covered cherry candies (too sweet) but this sounds like a winner.
This sounds great. I might have to give it a try.
mmm duetto ice cream! YUM!!!
This sounds like something I’ve GOTTA TRY!
I think this one is a Keeper>> I love ice cream and anything with Cream Cheese in it, sooooo, I’ll definitely be trying this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
GREAT idea!!!!! but please bring back Chocolate/Coconut Duetto !!!!! we miss it!!!!!!!! thanks
I have just been diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus, and I need to gain wieght. This sounds wonderful! barbara
Thanks for the recipe…Love Duetto.. but wasn’t wild about the Chocolate Coconut…I have Bananas Foster in the freezer…Duetto is also great as a milkshake…I might just try a Chocolate cherry Duetto Shake.
Sounds fabulous
I’m not sure I’ll try this recipe. Cherry Duetto is yummy enough on its own!
I agree with Lilly – must try it!
Sounds interesting….we’ve never made a smoothie with cream cheese, but may have to try it.
Sounds great. Can’t wait to try this. We are always looking for something de-lish .
How cheery this duet Oh my
Thanks for another delicious sounding recipe! I have to run to TH to get some more Cherry Duetto, my son has decided we should share this with his friends, so off I go to TH. It is always so nice to have our children want their friends to share time with us.
Chocolate, cherries, cream cheese–what better C’s than these–and milk to make it nutritious! Might just have to try this one if I can find the Duetto in my neck of the woods.
I’m not crazy about cherry but how about raspberry duetto. But I don’t see it often enough.
sounds good mango duetto is my favorite
Sounds good, but I bet it is superb beyond words using the banana Duetto.
Like a chocolate covered banana! I’ll try both just to be sure which I like better!
I think I’ll stick to the yogurt but will certainly try the Peppermint Stick as well as the cherry duetto!!!
I’m a little confused as to when the daily postings occur. I get an email that is always one day behind the actual date but today it’s July 19th past 8 PM and the posting is from July 18th. This is not a criticism just a concern.
The smoothie sounds great.
i’d make it with yogurt (makes me feel healthier!)
Mmmm, I always get hungry after looking at this site…
im going to try it now
Hmmmmmmmmmmm..using cream cheese in a smoothie–think I better substitute something for it — rather have the taste of the ice cream.
Sounds really good to me.
So much for the Flat Belly Diet!! Mmmmmm!
Get rid of the cream cheese and it would be good. I do not like cream cheese!!!
This is a great recipe, I am going to make this for my company next weekend. Will let you know their comments.
Sounds delicious. I will have to try it.
Sounds delicious!
Id eat the ice cream b4 the smootie got to the blender!
That sounds delicious.
Not a big fan of chocolate covered cherries or cherry ice cream but this sounds tempting!
YUMMY!!!! What a great idea!
I liked the raspberry Duetto, but can’t find it this year–are you still making it?
That sounds wonderful! I could go for one right now
It sounds like a cheesecake smoothie!
Summer has finally hit in the North East and this sounds and looks very refreshing!
Hmmm…sounds weird, but I will have to try it before making my final judgment.
Sounds scrumptious
now I wish my blender was working, maybe I can visit a neighbor with the ingredients and we could have a smoothie party
it is nut cup of tea , thank you any way
Tin Roof Sundae is still my favorite even though this sounds real good!
Sounds great to me!!!
Sounds good and sweet.
OMG – cream cheese and chocolate? Just when I thought the Duetto couldn’t get any better. This sounds positively SINFUL! Can’t wait to try it!
I am going to try to make some tonight!
nice innovation but I love this deutto as is!!
Perfect summer dessert!
Sounds cherry-liscious!!!
WOW! Another great one to try!!!
Well, I haven’t tried this Cherry Duetto yet, but with this recipe I will have to go find it! I have tried the Mango Venice Ice Duetto, and absolutely L-O-V-E it!!
I cannot wait to try this recipe. It sounds sooooo good and my kids are going to love this. Duetto cherry is one of my favorite treats.
I agree with Mike, It sounds great But why fix something that is not broken?
next ingredient – exercise for 4 hr.
I was just in Lititz, PA this past weekend and I was able to buy an ice cream flavor that I can’t find around Western NY. The Stuff’d Praline Pecan Paradise. This is one of the best Turkey Hill flavors I have ever eaten!! Loved it. Please bring the Stuff’d brands to Western, NY.
Oh gosh, that sounds great!!! Love smoothies…!!!
it sounds wonderful it ain’t good if it ain’t turkey hill, thanks
it sounds wonderful it ain’t good if it ain’t turkey hill,lol thanks
cold refreshing creamy ice cream for a hot muggy lazy summer day is the best ummmm ummmm good.
cherry jubilie yeahhh
Go Turkey Hill!
just love the frozen duhettos are great. i hope you come to the Erie County Fair this year.
Way, to go. Everyone in this house loves Turkey Hill ice cream.My grand daughter even plays in the snow eating an ice cream cone!
Everyone look at the operation hometown for our troops
Your ice cream is the best and my sister-in-law had me try a flavor of the month which was pineapple and graham crackers – just great – but never could find it in the stores after that month.
Please bring it back as a regular selection.
My family and I have tried different brands of ice cream when on sale and we found that nothing compares to the taste of Turkey Hill brand! This brand is the best we ever had. My husband loves the neopolitan, my son loves the cookies and cream, and I love the banana split and the root beer dueto.
I really like your Duetto ice cream flavors. They are very tasty.
My favorite is Cherry and lemon.
My wife and i have been eating Turkey Hill
ice cream ever since it became available in the Parma Ohio area. The best ice cream
one can buy. My favorite is Banana Split.
Cherry sounds great but how about Chocolate Covered Strawberry ice cream? Now that would be delicious. Why not Chocolate Covered Strawberries in Chocolate Ice Cream with Fudge running through it? Yum…
I can’t say I have a favorite flavor as there are so many. Turkey Hill is a top scale ice cream.
Turkey Hill Cherry Duetto sounds like a good flavor to try.
Sounds wonderful!!!!
I just love the Duetto Vanilla soft serve with Cherry just the way it is. It’s a summer keeper.
Just a note to let you know I recently visited Lancaster Pa and had a chance to go to Turkey Hill Farm and plant where products are made. I like all Turkey Hill products and was thrilled to visit where it all began. Linda D. Cunningham
Icecream is by far my favorite food! In a bowl, cup, cone, out of the carton, any way is the right way….This recipe sounds DELICIOUS!!! Go Turkey Hill! Awesome icecream with tons of mixed up flavors I would never think of !
im definetly getting some of that
Talk about GREAT! My husband who must keep his fat low and cannot have sugar…for him TURKEY HILL fat free sugar free ice cream is the ONLY ice cream without hydrogenated fats!! Bravo to Turkey Hill Ice Cream…we love you!
I love Cookies and Cream. It reminds me of a time in the 70′s when I would have ice cream at my boyfriends house. I ate vanilla ice cream in a cup and broke cookies into it. I would eat it with a fork. Now I just buy Cookies and Cream and it is great!
Love the Duetts, can’t wait to try this recipe!!
THE ICE CREAM I BOUGHT AT GIANT IS GONE…I HAVE NO IDEA WHO ATE IT
I still love Vanilla ice cream with sliced bananas. How can you beat that!
Maine LOVES Turkey Hill Ice Cream – the Very Best.
Turkey Hill is always delious
It’s so delious that Duetto
