Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the blueberries under cool water and drain well. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries and half of the sugar (1/2 cup). Stir occasionally and cook until the blueberries break down into a compote, about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, and then blend it into a smooth puree using an immersion blender or a countertop blender.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar, heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 4
Gently fold the blueberry puree into the cream mixture until well combined.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the mixture for at least 3 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Step 6
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to churn the ice cream.
Step 7
Transfer the soft ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.
Step 8
Scoop the nut-free blueberry ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy!
