Wild Blueberry Ice Cream
Report
Wild Blueberry Ice Cream ~ the very thought makes me crazy ~ but wait, it gets better, this luscious treat is made with sour cream instead of regular cream, for a unique tangy flavor you've just got to try.

Ingredients
- 2 cups (heaping) fresh or frozen wild blueberries,
- 1 cup sugar
- 16 ounces sour cream
- Juice of 1/2 lemon, optional
Instructions
- Put the berries and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and cook for about 5 minutes, just until the berries have released juice and softened.
- Puree the mixture. I used my Vitamix blender for an extra smooth puree. Refrigerate the puree until chilled.
- Blend together the sour cream, the cold blueberry puree, and the lemon juice, if using, until completely smooth.
- Process the mixture in your ice cream machine, according to the manufacturer's directions. Mine takes about 20 minutes to get to a soft serve stage.
- Spoon the soft ice cream into a loaf pan or plastic tub, cover tightly, and put in the freezer to firm up. I like to leave it for at least 5 to 6 hours.
Notes
- Blueberries and sour cream go so well together, but that doesn't mean you can't experiment ~ try other berries like raspberries or blackberries. You may want to strain the puree for seeds in some cases.
- I haven't tried it myself, but I assume you could make this wild blueberry ice cream with light sour cream to cut fat and calories.
- If you want to forgo the cream altogether, consider a wild blueberry frozen yogurt ~ you can use my Concord grape frozen yogurt as a guide.
