Equipment
For this recipe you will need 3 main pieces of equipment:
- Food processer
- Hand mixer (or stand mixer)
- Bread pan
Tip: You can avoid using a hand mixer, or stand mixer, to whip the heavy cream for the ice cream and can simply add to the bowl with the other ingredients. Make note that your blueberry ice cream will still be creamy but will have less of an "ice cream" texture.
Storage Tips
This ice cream recipe is able to be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months in an air tight container.
I recommend purchasing a bread pan with a plastic lid for easy storage!
Defrosting Tips
Remove the bread pan container from the freezer about 5 to 10 minutes before serving. This allows your ice cream to defrost enough to scoop onto cones or into bowls easily for when its time to serve!
Top tips
For the creamiest, no-churn ice cream, whip the heavy cream and then fold into the blueberry mixture! This will give you the creamiest no-churn ice cream that is sweet, soft, cold, and delicious!
Frequently Asked Questions FAQ's
Yes, heavy whipping cream is great for making ice cream! Especially whipped heavy cream folded into ice cream batter! This makes for a richer, creamier, fluffier texture in ice cream. It also allows for a no-churn option for making ice cream much easier!
Whole milk, or coconut milk, is best for making ice cream due to the high fat and low water content. This allows for a creamier, smoother, thicker texture of ice cream.
Whole milk has a higher fat to water ratio. For the creamy texture of ice cream that we expect, a higher fat content is necessary for the correct velvety consistency. When using a lower fat milk alternative, your ice cream will be harder when frozen and less creamy.
