lemon blueberry ice cream

Watch out Ben & Jerry’s.  You’ve got nothing on me!

Seriously, we make a lot of homemade ice cream around here and this one, hands down, tops them all.

Lemon Blueberry Pie Ice Cream

lemon blueberry ice creamFirst things first, if you don’t have an ice cream maker, invest in one.  I can’t tell you how many memories our family has made over a batch of homemade ice cream.  Not only is it delicious, but it is an anticipated summer tradition that everyone will cherish.  But buy one locally now, because in two months you won’t be able to find them.  Trust me.  Ice cream machines are seasonal {I found that out the hard way one October when I was dying to make some homemade ice cream}.

 

INGREDIENTS:

Ice Cream

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 t lemon zest
  • 2 T Lemon juice
  • 1/2 C sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup French Vanilla Coffee Mate Creamer
  • ¾ t vanilla
  • 5 grahm crackers

Blueberry Filling

  • 2 – 2 ½  cups blueberries, cleaned
  • ¼  cup powdered sugar

INSTRUCTIONS:

Ice Cream:  Combine the milk, ¼ C sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt in a medium saucepan. Scald the milk mixture over medium heat, stirring often, for appx. 5 minutes. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks and  remaining 1/4 C sugar.   Whisk until light and fluffy.  Add the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture by spoonfuls. Whisk together until smooth.  Return mixture into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, until the curd is thick enough to cover the back of a spoon (approx. 5 minutes). Place the custard in the freezer to cool for appx 5 min.  Combine the whipping cream, vanilla creamer, and vanilla in a separate bowl.  Add to the curd mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (overnight is fine too).

Blueberry Filling:  Combine blueberries and powdered sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, stirring occasionally. Mixture should begin to thicken between 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Make Ice Cream mixture according to your machines directions.  {Mine churned for appx 30 min}. Add chunks of grahm cracker during the last few minutes of churning.

    These recipes sound too good-what about frozen yogurt with blueberries & lemon. Just as tasty, but not all the fat calories. I am allergic to eggs, so frozen yogurt for me with all these various flavors would be heavenly.

      Oh No! It shouldn’t curdle. Make sure to let the mixture cool before adding lemon? HOpefully that will help. good luck! 🙂

      just wanted to circle back that i did in fact purchase my ice cream maker and tried this and it was an absolute hit. everyone that tries it, loves it. there are still organic blueberries available here in socal so i picked some up and the ice cream is churning as i type (my 5th time making it!). thanks again for the delicious recipe!

    Check the Goodwill for an ice cream maker. I have come across MANY sometimes brand new ones still in the box. Give it a good scrubbing and you’re ready to go. We LOVE homemade ice cream too, can’t wait to try this recipe!!
