Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

The Sunday Funday Bloggers are celebrating National Ice Cream Day.......

Mayuri of Mayuri's Jikoni invited the group to join her in celebrating this fun foodie holiday.  Let's see what everyone churned up.......


blueberry mixture

This is a super easy recipe.  It doesn't contain eggs so the only cooking involved is in making the blueberry mixture. You can do this at your convenience and then put it in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the ice cream.  This is especially useful if you have blueberries that are getting past their prime but don't have time to make the whole recipe.  You can do this quick step and then finish the rest in the next few days at your convenience.

  3. Whisk together the heavy and light cream, bourbon and vanilla.  With food processor running, slowly add 1/3 of the cream to the bowl.  Stop and scrape.  Repeat this process twice more.  After the last scrape, pulse a couple of times.

  1. Who can refuse a good creamy cheesy scoop of homemade ice cream? I can't. I've not tried making cheesecake ice cream. Wendy, an easy to follow blueberry cheesecake ice cream, will try the recipe out. Also the sweet corn ice cream sounds interesting.
