It's easy to make the best homemade Blueberry Ice Cream with the creamiest ice cream base, infused with the sweetness of fresh blueberry pie filling. The best part is, it’s no-churn, so you don’t even need an ice cream maker to make it! It only takes 20 minutes of hands-on time to create this incredibly creamy ice cream recipe, and there’s no better way to enjoy a warm summer day than with a bowl of this refreshing blueberry ice cream!

Notes
How to make blueberry pie filling:
Add 7 cups blueberries, 1 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, and 3 tablespoons water to a large saucepan, or pot, on the stove over medium heat. Stir all of the ingredients together and allow them to cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring often, until the blueberries start to burst and bubble. Reduce the heat on the stove to medium-low and allow the berries to cook down to a dark, thick consistency. Continue to stir regularly throughout this process. It will take 20-30 minutes. Remove the pie filling from the heat on the stove and stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice.

- If you prefer a blueberry ice cream without whole blueberries, simply puree the blueberry pie filling in a blender, or food processor, before folding it into the ice cream.
- Freezing the ice cream in a metal container will make it freeze faster.
- Place the ice cream as far back in the freezer as you can for a quicker freeze. You never want to store ice cream in the door, as it is the warmest place in the freezer. But I have also found for homemade ice cream, the further back in the freezer you place it, the quicker it will freeze.
- This recipe makes approximately 1/2 gallon of ice cream, which equals 4 pints, or 12 scoops of ice cream.
- This ice cream will stay good in the freezer for 6 months. Always seal the ice cream in an airtight container for storage to avoid freezer burn.
