Ingredients:
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries start to break down and release their juice. (Duration: 7 minutes)
Remove from heat and let the blueberry mixture cool slightly. Once cooled, blend until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender. (Duration: 5 minutes)
In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. (Duration: 3 minutes)
Add the blueberry puree into the cream mixture and stir until well combined. (Duration: 2 minutes)
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes. (Churning Time: 20-25 minutes)
Once the ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up. (Freezing Time: 4 hours)
Scoop and enjoy your homemade blueberry ice cream! (Duration: 1 minute)
