Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
Cook the mixture while stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the blueberries start to break down, about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Once the blueberry mixture has cooled, blend it in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Strain the blended blueberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the bowl with the cream mixture to remove any solids. Stir well to combine.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker, and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Once the ice cream has thickened to your liking, transfer it to an airtight container.
Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours or until firm before serving.
