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.

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.

  1. This sounds absolutely delicious, I love blueberry cheesecake anything. Plus, it’s SO pretty!

  2. Good gravy this looks like a dream come true! I’m now loving no-churn ice cream, so cannot wait to try this! Yay for being on the Today Show – so great!

  3. Girl, you had me at cheesecake! And then again at ice cream… Although I’ve used ice cream machines in the past and can’t say I’m a fan (maybe I just haven’t found the right machine…) I agree that they’ve come A LONG way from where they used to be. I’m sure much like you, I grew up with the hand-crank, ice-filled bucket version that my grandparents always pulled out in the summer for making fresh, hand-churned ice cream. Those tedious little buckets always bring back fond memories of warm summer nights, sore arms (I always got cranking duty), and fresh ice cream!

  4. I need some no churn recipes in my life because the ice cream maker can be annoying sometimes. I love love the swirls in this blueberry bliss 🙂 It was so fun to watch you on The Today Show this week! Great job 🙂
