It is ice cream season and blueberry season, so this No-Churn Blueberry Walnut Ice Cream is a no-brainer! It's creamy and delicious - full of flavor and texture. Bonus - it's super easy to make!
It's a super simple treat for a hot spring or summer day! My kids LOVE ice cream, they would literally eat it all day if I gave them the chance. And when we make it homemade? It doesn't stand a chance of lasting more than a day!
The best thing is - making no-churn ice cream is surprisingly easy and this particular recipe has only three base ingredients.
From there, you can really add whatever toppings you want to make it your own! Add in chocolate chips, nuts, strawberries, or whatever else your heart desires! It is also fun for the kids to help out and add in their own toppings.
How to make no-churn ice cream.
Start off with some sweetened condensed milk, some heavy cream, and some vanilla extract. Mix that well and then add in your toppings. I don't think it can get any easier than that!
I've been obsessed with blueberries lately (like this blueberry layer cake), so for this recipe I chose to add in a blueberry puree. But you can add another berry or sauce of your choice. You could also use fresh berries or frozen berries!
Blueberries add a very unique flavor to any dessert. I am thinking of doing a similar recipe with peaches, let me know what you think below!!
After you combine all of the ingredients, just pour your ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe bowl and place it in the freezer overnight.
Then you're done - ready to enjoy this amazing homemade ice cream!

This looks easy and amazing...Question though...whipping the cream until thick means just until the soft peaks form but do not hold shape? Ive only used whipping cream for whipped topping or an Alfredo sauce.. I cannot wait to make this for my family.
