Tips For Making Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream:

You can use fresh or frozen blueberries for this recipe.
Freeze into popsicle molds to make a super cream and delicious ice cream popsicle.
Make extra blueberry sauce and add it to the top, or even to yogurt.
Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap on top of the ice cream. This helps prevent ice crystals from forming on the top.

No-Churn Ice Cream Ingredients:

Heavy cream: You will need this to make whipped cream.

Sweetened condensed milk: You can totally make your own as well.

Vanilla extract

Cream cheese– Preferably full fat. It needs to be super soft, so leave it at room temperature for an hour or so. The tartness from the cream cheese is what gives it that cheesecake flavor.

Frozen or fresh blueberries:

Lemon juice & zest – Optional, but it adds a delicious tangy flavor

Maple syrup or honey

Graham cracker crumbs: This is totally optional, but if you want to add some crushed up graham crackers to replicate the graham cracker crust, it’s pretty yummy.

Tools you may need:

Stand mixer with a whisk attachment, hand mixer, or whisk

Large bowl

Freezer-safe container: I like to use a loaf pan

Rubber spatula

Saucepan

Measuring cups and spoons

How To Make Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

In a medium saucepan, place blueberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and lemon zest over medium-low heat. Cook until blueberries burst and sauce starts to thicken. it should cover the back of a spoon.

Allow blueberry compote to cool. If you are impatient (like me) or want to do this quickly, you can spread the blueberry sauce onto a cookie sheet and place into the freezer for a few minutes.

Create the cheesecake ice cream base – No-churn method

In a stand mixer (or a large bowl), pour heavy whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk.

Start off slow and work up to high speed. Whip until stiff peaks form.

While on low speed, add in vanilla and cream cheese, a spoonful at a time.

Line a freezer-safe dish (a bread pan works well) with parchment paper and pour in half of the ice cream cream cheese mixture.

Top with half the blueberry sauce mixture.

Take a knife or a spoon into the blueberry cheesecake ice cream mixture and create zig zags and lines in the pan to lightly mix the ice cream and sauce together. This step is optional, but it gives it the most beautiful swirls.

Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 4-6 hours. Make sure to place the plastic wrap directly on top of the ice cream to prevent freezer burn.

When you’re ready to serve, allow the ice cream to thaw a bit. Add some graham cracker crumble if desired.

Storage:

Place in a freezer-safe container, add plastic wrap directly to the top of the ice cream and place a tight fitting lid on top. Eat within 1-2 months. If it lasts that long.
