This homemade blueberry ice cream is a creamy, fruity delight bursting with the natural sweetness of blueberries. Made with simple ingredients and churned to perfection in a Cuisinart ice cream maker, it’s the perfect summer treat for any occasion!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (296 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup (200 g) sugar (adjust based on sweetness of berries)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water
  • 2 cups (473 ml) half-and-half (or substitute with 1 cup whole milk + 1 cup heavy cream)

Instructions

  • Step 1: Cook the Blueberries

    In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until the mixture boils. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries soften and release their juices.

    Step 2: Strain and Cool

    Press the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl to extract the syrup. Reserve the pulp if you’d like to add texture later. Let the syrup cool completely.

    Step 3: Mix and Chill

    Once cooled, stir in the half-and-half until fully combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to ensure it’s thoroughly chilled.

    Step 4: Churn in Ice Cream Maker

    Set up your Cuisinart ice cream maker according to its instructions. Turn it on, then slowly pour in the chilled mixture. Churn for about 15 minutes or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

    Step 5: Add Blueberry Pulp (Optional)

    For extra texture, mix in the reserved blueberry pulp during the last few minutes of churning.

    Step 6: Freeze Until Firm

    Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve in waffle cones or bowls topped with fresh blueberries or a sprig of mint.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Adjust sugar based on how sweet your berries are. Start with half and add more to taste while cooking.
  • Ensure your ice cream maker base is frozen solid before churning for best results.

Storage & Reheating Instructions:

  • Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. To serve, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
