Blueberry Ice Cream Recipe • Delectably delicious! | Club Foody

 

About 30 years ago, I started making homemade ice cream. A friend 👩‍🦰 of mine was making her own and encouraged me to do the same. Being a novice in that department and not owning a machine, I started with the easiest flavor… No Churn Vanilla Bean Ice Cream!
 
Since then, I’ve evolved…
I went on to try many different flavors making them with and without an ice cream machine. It’s like making your own bread 🍞… it’s addictive! Homemade is far better than anything else and beats any top brands sold at the store!
 
A couple decades ago, I remember buying way too many berries and was afraid I might lose some. Then I though it would be a great idea to try my hand at making ice cream with them. I started with Strawberry 🍓 and then moved on to this featured one… Blueberry Ice Cream!
 
OMG 🤯! It was so decadent! I had this flavor a few times before but not near as good as what I just made! It was incredibly delectable! The cold treat I created from scratch really tasted like blueberries… not some simulated, artificial flavor.
 
Blueberry Ice Cream is very easy to make 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳. After crushing the berries to extract the juice while they’re simmering, they’re strained through a fine sieve over a large bowl. The collected liquid should be around 1 ½ cups, give or take.
 
Like most ice cream recipes, there’s a custard made with egg yolks, heavy cream and half-and-half that has to be prepared. I don’t buy half-and-half because I don’t use it that often. What I do to mimic it is to combine 2/3 cup milk 🥛 with 1/3 cup 35% heavy cream and that’s my half-and-half ready to go…
 
When custard and reserved blueberry juice are blended together along with pure vanilla extract and fleur de sel 🧂 (you can use ground sea salt instead), the mixture is covered with wax paper so it touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming and then chilled for at least 5 hours but preferably overnight.
 
Later on, or the next day, the chilled custard is poured in the bowl of an ice cream maker and processed according to the manufacturers’ instructions – mine takes 15 minutes ⏰ to achieve the perfect consistency. From here, it’s spooned into a container, covered and transferred to the freezer until frozen… tada, done!
 
With many hot summer days ahead of us, this Blueberry Ice Cream is the perfect cold treat to enjoy especially if you’re a blueberry lover 💖! Get yourself a machine and become an ice cream aficionado! Trust me, you’ll never go back to commercial ones…
Bon Appétit! 🍽
