Blueberry Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1½ cups fresh blueberries washed and dried slightly less than a pint of fresh, or you can use frozen berries if you drain them well
- 1 pint 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup milk whole or reduced fat, your choice – coconut milk is a delicious substitute
- ½ cup sugar more or less to suit your own sweet tooth — or teeth
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
- lace rinsed blueberries in the blender or food processor and process for a minute or less.
- Add the whipping cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract to the pureed blueberries in the blender.
- Process 10-20 seconds, just until mixed – not too long, or you’ll have whipped cream
- Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and churn for 20 minutes.
- If you like soft, milkshake-type ice cream, pass out the spoons and dig in. For firmer ice cream, scoop the ice cream into a container and freeze two hours.
