Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
This creamy, dreamy ice cream is a wonderful way to savor the classic flavors of blueberry cheesecake. It’s easy to make and will impress anyone who has the pleasure of tasting it.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh blueberries, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Cook until the mixture is bubbling and the blueberries have softened, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it cool. Once cooled, mash the blueberries slightly with a fork or potato masher, leaving some larger pieces for texture.
- In a large bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and remaining 3/4 cup sugar until smooth. Gradually stir in the sweetened condensed milk and mix until fully combined.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; use a light hand to maintain the airy texture.
- Once thoroughly mixed, gently fold in the blueberry mixture. Ensure that the blueberries are evenly distributed throughout the cream mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into an airtight container and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Once the ice cream is firm, scoop out a generous serving and savor the creamy blueberry goodness. This Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream is not just a dessert; it’s an experience that encapsulates summer flavors, making it an excellent choice for gatherings or a personal indulgence.
