Are you a fan of the classic chocolate and fruit combination? If so, this Blueberry Chocolate Ice Cream is the perfect summer dessert. It combines rich chocolate flavour with juicy blueberries. As a result, you get a frozen treat that is both refreshing and indulgent.
Even better, you don’t need an ice cream maker. Instead, you only need a few simple ingredients and easy steps.
📖Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cups heavy cream, chilled
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, chopped
🌿Method:
- Cook the blueberries: In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then simmer for 10 minutes until blueberries are soft and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool.
- Puree the blueberries: Once cooled, blend the mixture until smooth. Set aside.
- Prepare the ice cream base: In a large bowl, whisk together chilled heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in chopped dark chocolate chips.
- Layer and swirl: Pour half of the ice cream base into a freezer-safe container. Spoon half of the blueberry puree on top and swirl gently with a knife. Repeat with the remaining base and puree.
- Freeze: Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours until firm.
🍽️Serving Suggestion:
Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy the perfect summer treat. Each bite bursts with chocolatey richness and sweet, tangy blueberries—pure bliss in every spoonful!
