Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
Today, I have a Blueberry Cheesecake Ice cream recipe for you that does not require an ice cream maker. Now I have a fancy schmancy ice cream machine, but honestly, the thing weighs a ton and I hate dragging it out. I also know, many of you don't have one.
This recipe uses fresh blueberries, but by all means, if you have frozen blueberries, swap them in. If you want to save a few calories, use Neufchatel over standard cream cheese in the ice cream.
Make the blueberry compote sauce. You will first cook the blueberries with sugar, lemon juice and salt in a small saucepan. Stirring constantly. Then cool a bit before you refrigerate. Make sure to allow the berries to cool completely before adding to the ice cream mixture.
Crushed graham crackers is an optional ingredient, but does give the ice cream more of an authentic cheesecake feel. You can buy crumbs or simply crush up some graham crackers, which is what I prefer. I like the random sized bits in the ice cream.
You will then beat the cream cheese, condensed milk and vanilla together until smooth. Then add heavy cream and beat until peaks form.
Spread half the cheesecake ice cream into bottom of freezer safe container. Then cover with the blueberry sauce and finally a top layer of the ice cream. Stir the ice cream with swirling motion using a knife or chopstick.
Cover and freeze.
Here you go, a Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream recipe, with no churning required. Scoop it into a cone or a bowl with whipped cream on top and enjoy. Why not try it over my easy Blueberry Dump Cake recipe!
Not in the mood for blueberries? No problem try my Cherry Cheesecake Ice Cream recipe (it is also no-churn).
Yes. The cheesecake ice cream base can be made the same, but not whipped. Pour the mixture into the ice cream freezer cylinder and churn according to your ice cream machine's instructions. While still semi-soft, stir in your blueberries and graham crackers (if you are using them). Finish firming the ice cream in the freezer.
Serve this scrumptious homemade ice cream after a classic dinner like Crock Pot Chicken Alfredo or my Kielbasa and Potatoes Recipe. It would also be a nice finale for a dinner of Yum Yum Chicken or an easy seafood recipe like Garlic Baked Tilapia.

Just made this last night and it's so good. This was the first time I've ever made ice cream and it was easy. My blueberry sauce didn't thicken a whole lot but once it refrigerated and froze it was fine. I'm definitely going to experiment with more homemade ice cream now 🙂
