blueberry ice cream Archives

I could not resist when I saw beautiful, ripe blueberries at the grocery store. As many dishes as I could use them in, my mind instantly went to creamy, yummy, delicious homemade blueberry ice cream. I was so happy with the final result that I made another batch the very next day.

I often change recipes when I make them. And I often cut back on things like, oh, cream or sugar. But not when I make homemade blueberry ice cream. This is not the time to be skimpy or try to make a dish super-duper healthy. This is decadent goodness. It’s supposed to be that way.

I love my ice cream maker. It’s fun to use and I always end up enjoying the results!
