Gather Your Ingredients
To make this delicious blueberry ice cream, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Make sure to use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but frozen blueberries will also work in a pinch. This recipe yields about 1 quart of ice cream, so be sure to adjust the quantities if you need to make a larger batch.
Instructions
1. In a saucepan, combine the blueberries and sugar over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries start to break down and release their juices.
2. Remove the blueberry mixture from heat and let it cool completely. Once cooled, puree the mixture in a blender until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Add the blueberry puree to the cream mixture and stir until well combined.
4. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once the ice cream is thick and creamy, transfer it to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
