Time 8h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups frozen Maine blueberries
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries have the best flavor and texture for this ice cream. If you can't find fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries will work, but they may be a little less flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the blueberries: Overcooked blueberries will lose their shape and flavor. Cook them just until they are softened and starting to burst.
  • Use a good quality ice cream base: The ice cream base is the foundation of your ice cream, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can either make your own ice cream base or use a store-bought one.
  • Chill the ice cream base before churning: Chilling the ice cream base before churning will help it churn more quickly and smoothly.
  • Churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions: Every ice cream maker is different, so be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for churning the ice cream.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

This blueberries and cream ice cream is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
