Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries start to release their juices and the sugar is dissolved, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the blueberry mixture cool slightly. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the mixture until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids. Set aside to cool completely.
-
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Gradually pour the cooled blueberry puree into the cream mixture, stirring gently to incorporate.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to chill the mixture thoroughly.
-
Once the blueberry ice cream base is chilled, pour it into the bowl of an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
-
Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
-
When ready to serve, scoop the blueberry ice cream into bowls or cones and garnish with fresh blueberries or a sprinkle of granola for an extra crunch.
-
Enjoy the creamy, fruity goodness of homemade blueberry ice cream with your loved ones on a sunny day or as a refreshing treat after dinner.
