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.
I hope you find an ice cream to make for National Ice Cream day or that you get the opportunity to go to an Ice Cream parlor and enjoy your favorite flavor.

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.
ReplyDeletePlease let me know how you like them Mayuri. Thanks for hosting this week.
DeleteOh yes! This is my kind of ice cream! And now I'm gonna have to go out and get some blueberries!
ReplyDeleteI just recently made a strawberry jam and cream cheese ice cream that is very similar. I've got to try your version for "scientific" purposes, lol!
ReplyDeleteBut, of course.
