Blueberry Ice Cream update

It is not quite blueberry enough. Next time I will try adding a 1/2 cup of blueberry puree. PLUS...lesson learned.....adding frozen fruit to ice cream that is in the ice cream maker almost immediately seizes it up!!!!! Next time have them at least partially thawed. Gotta go chisel the ice cream out of the ice cream maker!

Blueberry Ice Cream

Today I am attempting to make ice cream for the third time! Today I am making sugar free blueberry ice cream. The "custard" is now in the fridge chilling. I did use heavy cream and whole milk.....but used splenda to sweeten it. So far so good! To get that bright, delicious blueberry flavor, I took some of my fresh blueberries from last summer that I froze and thawed out about 1/3 of cup of them. I then placed them in the mini food processor with a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and pureed them. Once the "custard" was cooked and thrown in another bowl in an ice bath, I added the blueberry puree. I stirred it up and then poured the "custard" through a sieve to get out the blueberry bits. What a great purply/blue color the custard is!!!!!! Taste blueberry too! I plan on adding frozen blueberries to the ice cream in the last 5 minutes of churning later this afternoon. I will let you know how it goes!
