Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream gives you all the flavors of a cheesecake topped with blueberry compote all in a single spoonful of ice cream. Fresh blueberries, cream cheese, and heavy cream help make up a decadently rich homemade ice cream.
Are you ready for ice cream today? What about Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream? I love cheesecake and I love ice cream so why not mix the two together to get one amazing ice cream flavor? Blueberries are still inexpensive down south, so while they are at a great price I cook with them… a lot! Think blueberry crostata, prosciuttio and blueberry naan flatbread, and blueberry muffin bread to name a few.
I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen and have recently figured out how to make small batch ice cream that tastes amazing. This Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream recipe makes only one pint! That’s it. It does take a little prep work, but totally worth it in the end.
