Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh blueberries
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the blueberries and then place them in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the lemon juice to the blueberries and cook, stirring frequently, until the blueberries start to soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
Use a blender or immersion blender to puree the blueberry mixture until smooth. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Gradually add the erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until fully blended.
Pour in the almond milk and heavy cream, mixing until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
Fold in the cooled blueberry puree into the cream mixture until fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically around 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
For a firmer texture, transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Enjoy your sugar-free blueberry ice cream!
