Is there anything better than ice cream during the summer months? I think not!
Ice cream is oftentimes our go-to for special occasions like the last day of school to a celebration cake. Likewise, it’s a cool treat perfect for no excuse at all, you just can’t beat the rich creamy taste. This is especially true when the temperatures spike, it’s a favourite for all ages.
This Blueberry No-Churn Ice Cream recipe is one that you can make at home, no run to the store or shop required.
I’ve chatted with many people who haven’t made their own ice cream before, and if that’s you – you must give it a try! There are many ice cream recipes available, yet this one only calls for 5 ingredients which is one of the simpler ones to make. And during a busy summer, we all appreciate simple and uncomplicated.
I’m a fan-girl of blueberries this time of year {as I’ve stated many times recently}, so this recipe features this particular delicious berry. You could also swap it out with another berry too of course.
Enjoy the recipe and cheers with spoons – it’s summer!

Have you ever made your own ice cream before?
What cornstarch and water? It doesn’t mention cornstarch in the ingredients list.
Thanks for the delicious recipe. On the last day of school our Mom always took us to an ice-cream parlor. Unfortunately, there are not many ice-cream parlors anymore.

looks good. I’m thinking I will have to try this one
This sounds wonderful! I would love to try homemade ice cream but do not own an ice cream maker – so this is an ideal recipe 🙂
we love homemade ice cream, this sounds so easy and yummy
Thank you for this I love icecream and haven’t had homemade since I was a kid
Yummy! I think I’m going to have to try this! We do have an ice cream maker but I love that you can pour this in the pan and put it in the freezer.
