Best No Churn Blueberry Graham Cracker Ice Cream Recipes

NO CHURN BLUEBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, bring the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice to a boil. Reduce heat and gently boil for 5-10 minutes. Use the back of a spoon to gently smash the berries against the side of the pan.
• Remove the blueberry mixture from the heat and cool completely.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
• To a large bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the whipped cream. Add the cooled blueberry mixture and stir just until combined.
• Pour the mixture into a loaf pan and cover the top with a piece of wax or parchment paper. Freeze for at least six hours or overnight before serving.

NO-CHURN BLUEBERRY-CHEESECAKE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Make the cheesecake bites: Toss the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and 1 tablespoon sugar in a medium bowl. Divide between two 1 1/2-cup bowls or ramekins; press into the bottoms and up the sides. Put the cream cheese in the medium bowl (no need to wipe clean); stir with a spatula. Add the heavy cream, lemon juice, vanilla and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; mix until smooth. Spoon into the prepared bowls, cover and freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Remove the bowls from the freezer and run a knife around the cheesecakes; turn out onto a cutting board and roughly chop. Cover and keep frozen until ready to use.
• Meanwhile, make the blueberry sauce: Combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook, stirring occasionally, gently squashing the berries as they soften, until the mixture is thick and shiny, about 30 minutes. (You should have about 1 2/3 cups of sauce; cook slightly longer to reduce if necessary.) Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate until cold.
• Make the ice cream: Put the heavy cream, cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest and salt in a food processor; process until very thick and fluffy. Layer the ice cream mixture, blueberry sauce and cheesecake bites in a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing against the surface; freeze at least 3 hours. Let sit at room temperature 20 minutes before scooping.

NO-CHURN S'MORES ICE CREAM

Steps:

• For the fudge sauce: In a small pot, heat the heavy cream, butter and sugar over medium heat, stirring frequently until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat to medium-low and boil for 2 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the chocolate and a pinch of salt, stirring well until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour into an 8- or 9-inch cake pan and keep in the freezer while you prepare the ice cream (see Cook's Note).
• For the ice cream: Whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl to medium peaks. With the mixer running, add the sweetened condensed milk in a slow, steady stream. Mix in the vanilla and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
• Scoop the marshmallow creme into a disposable pastry bag or resealable plastic bag and cut a 1/2 inch opening from the tip. (This makes it easier to create streaks and swirls of marshmallow in the ice cream. Alternatively, you can just dollop the marshmallow creme over the ice cream, but it will be less streaky and more like mounds of marshmallow throughout). Remove the fudge sauce from the freezer--it should no longer be warm.
• Pour half of the ice cream base into a 9-by-9-inch baking pan. Drizzle with half of the fudge sauce, then squeeze half of the marshmallow creme over the top. Use a skewer to gently swirl the mixture to combine. Crumble 3 of the graham crackers over the top.
• Pour the remaining ice cream base on top, and repeat the process above with the remaining fudge sauce, marshmallow creme and graham crackers.
• Wrap the pan tightly in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours. Serve or keep frozen for up to 2 weeks, tightly wrapped in plastic to avoid freezer burn.

NO-CHURN BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Bring blueberries, water and 2/3 cup sugar to boil in small saucepan; simmer on medium-low heat 8 min. or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate 30 min. or until completely cooled.
• Process remaining sugar with all remaining ingredients except graham cracker pieces in food processor until well blended; spoon into 1-1/2-qt. freezer-proof container. Gently stir in graham cracker pieces. Top with spoonfuls of the blueberry mixture; swirl gently with spatula.
• Freeze 5 hours or until firm.
