No reviews

A creamy, fruity no-churn blueberry ice cream made with just a few simple ingredients. No ice cream maker required—just whip, swirl, freeze, and enjoy!

  • Total Time: 4 hours 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups frozen or fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (optional, for texture)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until berries break down and mixture thickens (5–10 minutes).
  2. Remove from heat and let the blueberry mixture cool completely.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, keeping the whipped cream light and airy.
  5. Swirl in the cooled blueberry mixture. For added texture, fold in 1/2 cup fresh blueberries if desired.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap or a lid.
  7. Freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or until firm and scoopable.
  8. Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving for easier scooping.

Notes

  • Swap blueberries with strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries for variation.
  • Add crushed graham crackers, chopped nuts, or white chocolate chips for texture.
  • For extra flavor, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • Dairy-free version can be made using coconut cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk.
  • Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap touching the surface to prevent ice crystals.
