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.

This was unreal. My husbands love language is ice cream and he thought it was amazing. Followed recipe exactly.
Used with home grown blueberries. Instant hit with family!
This looks so good. Can it be adapted to use in my ice cream machine? Should I just follow the recipe and last step pour the mix into the churner?
Honestly there is no need for the ice cream maker at all and this is coming from someone with an ice cream maker.
My firend made this yesterday. It was amazing ! Thank you so much.
I made this today – OMG – the guests couldn’t talk highly enough of it! I served it with a homemade blueberry jam, chopped macadamia nuts and green extra crumb on the side. Being in Australia, we don’t get graham crackers so I used Digestive biscuits and tail end of summer means fresh berries are not as nice but frozen worked really well!!
This is, no joke, the most popular dessert I’ve ever made, bar none. I even experimented with several different other fruits, and it was delicious every time, but the original takes the cake. So creamy and delicious, the sweet and the tart balance each other out perfectly. Cannot recommend it enough!
Love this recipe! Fun to make, super simple (with great directions), and so delicious I hid it from my husband
Oh my Goodness! This recipe is so easy to follow and soooo yummy! I didn’t have Graham crackers so I’ve used Ritz crackers to substitute and I think it tasted better with a hint of saltiness, everybody loves it.
Oh my. This is just SO delightful. And so easy!
Hi – just signed up for your emails! I love your taste and style.
What about frozen pineapple or cooked pineapple with with ginger?
Thanks for that lime. Wouldn’t have thought of that and now I am thinking of TONS of combinations.
Thank YOU Jocelyn!
