Blueberries and Cream Ice Cream

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups blueberries
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1-14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon blueberry extract not necessary but if you have it adds delicious flavor

Instructions

  • Heat 1 cup blueberries in microwave about 30 seconds or until heated and soft
  • Press through a strainer to remove skin
  • Heat remaining 1/4 cup blueberries for 8-10 seconds these will be put in the ice cream whole
  • In mixer bowl whip heavy cream on high until medium to stiff peaks
  • Slowly add in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla to the heavy cream
  • In a loaf pan layer the ice cream mixture place dollops of pressed blueberries and swirl it with a toothpick or back of a spoon to gently mix in, then add a few heated blueberries and repeat.
  • If you'd like the ice cream to be all "purple" in color, go ahead and mix the pressed blueberries into the ice cream mixture completely.
  • Freeze for 4-6 hours or until firm.
  • Add more blueberries if you aren't using blueberry extract.
  • As with any fruit dessert, delicious tasting fruit will result in great tasting results. If the fruit is not very sweet or not full of flavor, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar at a time until the taste of the mixture is great. Adding lemon and sugar together will also result in great flavor, as well as lemon extract too.
