I used frozen blueberries for this recipe, trying to make sure that I drained the excess liquid from the bag. The recipe also called for lemon juice and lemon zest, which added a delicious flavor to the finished ice cream.
I doubled the recipe, so when I put it in the blender, I had this lovely moment where I thought "I wonder if the lid will stay on?" It did, but I was glad that I held the lid in place... The custard was rich and creamy, and I let it chill in the fridge over night. It set up nicely into a thick custard.
The ice cream was put in an ice cream freezer the next day, and turned out a delicious batch of blueberry happiness. I have never made ice cream from a recipe before, and if not for Tuesdays with Dorie, this probably would have been another one of those recipes that I looked at longingly, but never made. Hurray for blueberries!Be sure to check out all the Tuesdays with Dorie blogroll for lots more blueberry madness!

Glad you enjoyed your first ice cream making experience. I did too! I have a feeling it won't be my last either :)

Yours looks great and creamy. I'm the same way. I never would have attempted homemade icecream if not for this group!
Very nice looking...and I was wondering if one could make a double batch and have it all work. Thanks for the info.
I, like you, am thinking that TWD is really great for getting me motivated and making things I would normally not bake, make, etc. It has been a big hit around here.
OH MY. That bottom photo made my mouth water so hard it hurt!
Umm. Looks great!
GAD YOU LIKED IT!! Looks great!
"Batch of blueberry happiness" is the perfect way to describe this. Awesome.
Oh, pretty ice cream. So glad you're first time was a charm!
It was delicious. Yours looks so creamy and inviting. Nice job.
it looks so nice and creamy! lovely.
This looks scrumptious. By the way, is Butterbur the cute kitty in the frame?
i'm glad you had fun with yours! even doubling the recipe! thats a big leap of faith! hope it paid off for you. It looks gorgeous anyway!
Looks wonderful! Great job!
Your pictures are great...and the descriptions were enough to make me want to eat a ton of this!
I doubled it too -- I'm used to recipes that make a quart, so it's just luck that I noticed that this one only made a pint. It was good, wasn't it?
Here here to trying new things! I would have never even considered making my own ice cream if not for TWD, but then again before TWD I didn't even know that baked goods came without plastic cellophane wrappers.
Mmmm, yours looks like it has a really nice texture.
Great job, it looks fantastic!
Glad you enjoyed it! Ice cream is fun!
