Easy Homemade Blueberry Ice Cream Recipe (Only 3-Ingredients)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta cheese

💰Cheaper: neufchâtel cheese

Ricotta offers a lighter texture with a similar flavor.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness with a unique flavor.

blueberries

🥗Healthier: mixed berries

💰Cheaper: frozen blueberries

Mixed berries provide a variety of flavors and are often less expensive.

Prepare the blueberries: Add the blueberries to a blender and process until smooth. For a deeper flavor and better texture, pour the puree into a saucepan and cook over low heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring frequently. This reduces excess water and concentrates the blueberry flavor. Let the mixture cool completely.

Whip the cream: In a large cold mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer.

Combine the base: Add the sweetened condensed milk, chilled blueberry puree, and vanilla bean paste (if using) to the whipped cream. Beat on low speed just until combined.

Final mix: Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture, making sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl for even mixing.

Freeze: Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals. Cover with a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
