Description
A no-churn blueberry crumble ice cream made with whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk, swirled with a fresh blueberry sauce and buttery brown sugar crumble. Creamy, fruity, and perfect for summer.
Ingredients
- Blueberry Sauce:
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1 cup (140 g) fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- Crumble:
- ¼ cup (31 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (25 g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter, melted
- Ice Cream Base:
- 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
- 14-ounce (396 g) can full-fat sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together cornstarch and water. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine blueberries and sugar. Stir constantly, gently mashing berries to release juices.
- Add cornstarch mixture to the pan. Increase heat to medium and cook for about 3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and cool completely. Strain if desired for a smoother sauce.
- In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. (Optional: bake the crumble at 350°F for 3–5 minutes to heat-treat flour.) Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat heavy cream with a mixer until stiff peaks form (about 4 minutes).
- Fold in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla until just combined.
- Fold in the crumble, then gently swirl in ¼ to ⅓ cup of blueberry sauce, reserving extra for topping.
- Transfer to a freezer-safe container or loaf pan. Cover tightly and freeze at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
- Scoop and serve, adding extra blueberry sauce on top if desired.
Notes
- Use frozen blueberries directly from the freezer — no need to thaw.
- For a smoother swirl, strain blueberry sauce after cooking.
- Freeze for at least 8 hours for best scoopable consistency.
- Omit crumble for a smoother ice cream.
- Use a loaf pan or any airtight freezer-safe container for storage.
