Indulge in the sweet and tangy flavors of homemade Blueberry Ice Cream. This creamy treat is bursting with fresh blueberries and is the perfect dessert to enjoy on a hot summer day.

Ingredients

Scale

Blueberry Sauce:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Custard Base:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the Blueberry Sauce In a saucepan, combine blueberries, ¼ cup sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until berries burst and mixture thickens (about 8–10 minutes). Let cool, then blend into a smooth puree (or leave some chunks if you like texture).
  2. Prepare the Custard Base In a saucepan, heat milk and cream until steaming (do not boil). In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and remaining ½ cup sugar until pale and thick. Slowly pour warm milk into the yolks while whisking (to temper). Return mixture to saucepan and cook on low heat, stirring until it coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and let cool.
  3. Combine & Chill Mix the blueberry puree into the custard base. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
  4. Churn & Freeze Pour mixture into your ice cream maker and churn until creamy. Transfer to a container and freeze for 2–3 hours before serving.
