A rich, sweet and delicious ice cream made with only a few key ingredients: blueberries, sugar, lemon, heavy cream, sour cream and a splash of vanilla. How easy is that? After a few hours freezing time you will be able to sit back, relax and indulge in an incredibly smooth and creamy summertime treat. This ice cream would also be especially good served with a slice of dense and heavenly scented vanilla pound cake. LET'S GET STARTED !
RECIPE:
adapted from Blueberry Sour Cream Ice Cream, Dorie Greenspan's Baking From My Home to Yours
WHAT YOU NEED
your trusty ice cream maker
a small food processor or hand-held blender
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
zest of one lemon
juice of 1/2 a lemon
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
MAKE IT
IN MEDIUM SAUCEPAN, combine first 4 ingredients
HEAT slowly over MEDIUM heat until mix starts to simmer.
STIR continously until berries start to pop and release juices (4-5 minutes)
REMOVE FROM HEAT and puree with food processor or hand-held blender
ADD cream, sour cream and vanilla
PULSE to combine
PLACE in refrigerator for 1 hour
REMOVE and add to ice cream maker basin.
BLEND AND FREEZE according to manufacturer's instructions. I have a Cuisinart 2 QT machine and I stir for 25 minutes, transfer to a freezer container and freeze 4-5 hours.
thanks for posting such a refreshing ice cream that is so easy to make. Lemon and blueberry are a home run in anything. Yum!
