Ingredients
Ice Cream Base:
- ½ cup half-and-half
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
Pie Filling:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or thawed frozen)
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
Crust:
- 1 graham cracker (crushed)
- 1 teaspoon melted butter
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
1. Make the Blueberry Pie Filling
In a small saucepan, heat blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the blueberries burst into a thick, saucy consistency (about 5 minutes). Let it cool completely.
2. Prepare the Ice Cream Base
In the Ninja Creami pint container, whisk together milk, half-and-half, and pudding mix until smooth. Add the cooled blueberry filling and gently mix to combine. Freeze for at least 24 hours on a level surface.
3. Process in Ninja Creami
After freezing, place the pint into the Ninja Creami machine and process using the “Ice Cream” setting. If the texture is crumbly, use the “Re-spin” function or add a splash of milk to smooth it out.
4. Add Graham Cracker Crust
Mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar in a small bowl. Dig a hole in the center of the processed ice cream and add the crust mixture. Process again on “Mix-In” mode to evenly distribute.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
Scoop into bowls or cones and savor every bite!
Notes
Serving Suggestions: Top with fresh blueberries or whipped cream for added flair. Pair with shortbread cookies for an extra treat.
Tips & Tricks: Ensure the blueberry filling is fully cooled before mixing it into the base to prevent ice crystals from forming. For extra creaminess, re-spin if needed after processing.
Storage & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping to soften slightly—no reheating required!
