  • Yield: 6–8 servings
  • Category: Dessert
  • Method: Ice Cream Maker
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for compote) + 2/3 cup (for custard)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cups heavy cream, divided
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup pre-baked pie crust or pie crust cookies, broken into bite-sized pieces

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat until thickened, about 5–7 minutes. Let cool completely.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat milk, 1 cup cream, 2/3 cup sugar, and salt until steaming (do not boil).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks. Slowly pour in some hot milk mixture to temper, whisking constantly. Return mixture to the saucepan.
  4. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard coats the back of a spoon. Strain into a clean bowl.
  5. Stir in remaining cream and vanilla extract. Chill in the refrigerator until cold, at least 2 hours.
  6. Churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  7. Fold in cooled blueberry compote and pie crust pieces, swirling gently for visible streaks.
  8. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Use graham cracker crust for a cheesecake-like twist.
  • Add cinnamon to pie crust pieces for extra warmth.
  • Make a mixed berry version with raspberries and blackberries.
  • Swirl in whipped cream cheese for extra richness.
