Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream . . . rich cream cheese ice cream, fresh blueberry ripple, and graham cracker crumbs make this an ice cream you won’t forget!
Homemade ice cream. Is there anything better on a hot summer day? I love coming up with new ice cream recipes, and of course I love eating them! We had some blueberries in the fridge that needed to be used up, as well as some graham crackers leftover from s’more
making. Blueberry cheesecake ice cream just had to be!
There are a few steps involved with making this ice cream, but trust me, it’s worth it! It is creamy and decadent, with bursts of berry flavor. The graham cracker crust adds a nice crunch.
My husband declared this one of the best homemade ice cream recipes I’ve ever made. Even my non-blueberry loving son practically licked his bowl clean. If you like blueberry cheesecake, you’ve gotta give this recipe a try!
