Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh blueberries
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.125 tsp Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the blueberries release their juices and begin to break down.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Using a blender or food processor, puree the blueberry mixture until smooth. If desired, strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any skins for an extra-smooth texture.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the blueberry puree until fully incorporated. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually 20-25 minutes).
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
