Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups fresh blueberries (divided (plus save a couple for garnish))
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch kosher salt

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Place a 9x5-inch loaf pan in the freezer to chill.
  2. To a medium saucepan over medium heat, add 2 cups of the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring it to a boil. After it comes to a boil, use the back of a spoon or potato masher to gently mash the blueberries. The blueberries should start to break down in 10-15 minutes, resulting in 1 cup sauce.
  3. Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely.
  4. To the bowl of a stand mixer, add the heavy cream. Start mixing at the lowest speed, and then gradually increase speed to medium until the cream starts to get thicker. (The gradual progression prevents you from spraying yourself with cream.)
  5. The cream will thicken and start to peak. Mix on high speed until the cream is thick and stiff. This happens quickly, so watch it closely!
  6. In a medium bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, salt, and 1 cup of whipped cream.
  7. Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk mixture and cooled blueberry sauce into the mixing bowl with the rest of the whipped cream.
  8. Gently fold in the reserved cup of blueberries.
  9. Pour the mixture into the chilled pan and freeze for at least 5 hours, or until fully set up, before serving.

Notes

Enjoy this delightful homemade blueberry ice cream! For best results, ensure the blueberry sauce is completely cool before folding into the whipped cream mixture. Garnish with a few extra fresh blueberries if desired.
