Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 2 cups coconut cream
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

Begin by rinsing the fresh blueberries and placing them in a medium-sized saucepan.

Step 2

Add the lemon juice and maple syrup to the blueberries in the saucepan and place the pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Cook the blueberries for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they have softened and begun to release their juices.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully mash the blueberries with a fork or a potato masher to your desired consistency.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of coconut milk to create a slurry.

Step 6

Add the coconut cream, remaining coconut milk, and the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan with the blueberries.

Step 7

Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Do not let it boil.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 9

Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until thoroughly chilled.

Step 10

Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches the consistency of soft serve ice cream.

Step 11

Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover it with a lid or plastic wrap, and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up.

Step 12

Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before scooping. Serve and enjoy!
