Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Recipe

Y’all I love me an old fashioned custard ice cream like nobody’s business but sometimes we just ain’t got time to chill the bowl, babysit the custard and churn right? That’s why I absolutely love this blueberry cheesecake ice cream recipe which is no churn. I get that base super smooth and rich by adding in some cream cheese but then I fold in a delish thickened blueberry syrup. It’s not only super addictive but absolutely gorgeous.

Recipe Tutorial

How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

  • For the blueberries, add those, sugar and lime juice to a medium sized pot and bring to boil over medium high heat.
  • Continue to boil for additional 5-7 minutes until juices have released, berries have softened and sauce has thickened a little.
  • Remove berries from heat and allow them to cool then place in refrigerator for 1 hour to completely cool them down.
  • For the Ice Cream, add cream cheese to bowl of stand mixer or medium sized bowl if using hand mixer.
  • Beat on medium high speed then slowly add in condensed milk and vanilla extract and mix until completely smooth.
  • Turn off mixer and fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
  • Once whipped cream is folded in, carefully fold blueberries into batter only folding 3-4 times just until the blueberries have distinctly swirled through batter (don’t over fold the blueberries because you will turn the entire ice cream mixture blue).
  • To freeze, alternate adding ice cream mixture and graham cracker crumbs to freezer safe containers. Freeze for at least 5-7 hours then serve.

Recipe Tips

  • Pick the Right Blueberries: When buying, look for firm, dry, smooth-skinned berries with a deep purple-blue to blue-black coloration.
  • Churn Right: Don’t rush the whipping process! After whipping the cream cheese until light and airy, slowly add in the other ingredients until combined so you add some air to the mix.
  • Fold Gently: Don’t add the whipped cream into the mixer! You’ll over whip the cream and make a soupy mess. Instead, use a rubber spatula to very carefully fold in the whipped cream.
  • Briefly Thaw Before Serving it Up: Because this recipe doesn’t have a custard base, it freezes up a bit harder than most other ice creams. Instead of scooping straight out of the freezer, allow the ice cream to sit out for at least 10 minutes.
