There is nothing like fresh homemade Ice Cream! This recipe is so smooth and very full of flavor. I get fresh Jersey Cow milk from a family farm here in East Texas, and skim off that amazing,rich cream right off the top of that fresh milk. I was gifted 5 lbs of blueberries from a very sweet friend of mine, I made a cake,dehydrated some and decided to make ice cream with the rest! My kids (ages 4-15 yr) Loved it !!! I hope that your family will enjoy this as much as mine have! Enjoy

How To Make creamy blueberry ice cream

    I have a kitchen-aid ice cream churner. It requires 15 hrs to 24 hours of freeze time. Make sure this is done ahead of time. Otherwise use your ice cream makers detailed instructions, and churn according to manufacturer's directions.

    I noticed anything after 20 mins of churning will make "soft served ice cream" I churned mine for 10-12 mins before transferring. Transfer churned ice cream to a freezer safe container. Cover and freeze until solid. I used a glass container with a snap lock lid, worked very well. ***You can add a few whole blueberries for texture if you'd like*** Enjoy!!!
