Guys, there’s only one other time in my life that I recall something getting the better of me…
…and it had to do with catalog shopping. I finally called my sister and literally requested an intervention, “Please, help stop the insanity!” I realized it had gone long enough when bags and boxes were being delivered that I didn’t remember ordering. I knew the UPS driver and every member of his family by name. And the sight of large boxy chocolate colored vehicles missing the driver-side door made my heart skip a beat. (Hey – winters can be long in Central New York.) Luckily, I snapped out of it. But I am concerned that this time it will not be so easy.
Have you noticed all the ice cream coming from my site over the past couple weeks? I think I’ve eaten more ice cream this summer than I have in my entire life. I wake up thinking about flavor combinations. I go to bed thinking about flavor combinations.
It’s an issue.
Is it an issue? Please tell me it’s not an issue.
I. Love. No-Churn. There, I said it.
The thing about this Vanilla & Fresh Blueberry Ice Cream is as you’re eating it and the ice cream begins to soften, becoming all melty and sublime, the frozen blueberries hold their freeze to create little icy bursts of berry with every bite.
And don’t even get me started on the sauce…
You’ll want to serve the blueberry sauce at room temperature over the ice cream.
The contrast of temps, textures and flavors in this sweet treat is the kind of thing that dreams are made of.
With just three simple ingredients and about five minutes of your time, you’ll have yourself a sauce that not only tastes divine, but makes everything it’s strewn over, simply gorgeous. Just look at that color.
Subtly sweet with a bit of zing…berries like bubbles that dot the sauce… ahhhh, yes, a thing of beauty.
So, what do you say, friends?
With so many of us struggling to stay cool this summer with record breaking heat everywhere, don’t we deserve this ice cream? Haven’t we earned it? Isn’t it absolutely necessary for our health and happiness?
What? Justifying? Huh? Who? Me?
Oh no…
Buon Appetito!

Totally gorgeous pictures! That blueberry sauce looks amazing!
Thank you, dear!
Ice cream is totally validated this summer! That blueberry sauce looks totally addicting! I can see why you can’t step away!
Thanks for your understanding! 😉
I am a huge fan of no churn ice creams! This classic vanilla flavor with blueberry sauce was great choice. Love it!
Thanks so much, Jen!
There’s nothing better than classic vanilla ice cream! I mean, vanilla ice cream topped with some beautiful blueberry sauce, right? I would add a pinch of lavender in it, haha. Don’t be angry with me:) Well done! So luscious and scrumptious dessert!
Awww – I’m only angry that I didn’t think of that! I have a newfound love of lavender! Thanks, my friend!
It is definitely not an issue! Or if it is, I’m right there with you 🙂 I am loving all of your no-churn ice creams and will definitely need to try this out myself!
Hahahah! Awesome…we’re in this together! Thank you, my friend!! Enjoy!
I can’t get enough ice cream, especially no-churn recipes. This looks so fantastic, Annie! I love that gorgeous blueberry sauce too.
Thanks, Danielle! I can’t get enough of that sauce! 🙂
Oh.my.gawsh! I just saw this and almost fell out my dang chair. I made blueberry ice cream over the weekend for the blog.. but mine doesn’t have a fantastic sauce 🙁 I still have a crap ton of blueberries and an endless appetite for ice cream, so I can’t wait to make yours, Annie! After all, I scream for ice cream- especially when it comes smothered and covered in deliciously sticky, fruit-tastic sauce!! <3 Cheers, girlie!
Don’t fall off your chair – you might break your toe again! Ooooh! Can’t wait to see your recipe! Don’t you just love blueberries?! Thanks, hon! 🙂
I’ve heard that admitting it is the First Step, so good for you Annie! LOL
I must say EVERY single one of these photos is beyond mouthwatering.. simply beautiful and there is never anything like too much ice cream. There, I said it. 🙂
Hahaha! Yes! I am moving in the right direction, then! Wow – such kind words – thank you very much, my friend!
I am loving this no churn ice cream series you are doing, Annie! I can’t decide which flavor combination I love the best – they all look so delicious. And you are nailing it with your photos – I just want to dive in!
Wow – I really appreciate that! You are so sweet, Geraldine! I can’t choose a favorite, either! Actually – my fave is the one that’s in the bowl that I’m eating! 🙂
I am equally obsessed with no-churn ice cream! It’s so easy to make and tastes just like store-bought. Pretty fascinating seeing as most homemade ice creams freeze rock solid. I love this flavour too and frozen blueberries are just delicious with cream!
I know – blueberries and cream came to mind and that was it! Thank you so much, my friend!
Keep the no-churn ice cream coming! This is so funny, I was literally eating some no-churn ice cream when I opened your post! Like you, I just can’t get enough 😉
This blueberry ice cream looks heavenly, Annie! And oh my, the beautiful color that those little berries creates is just phenomenal! Outstanding!
Oooooh – what kind?? See that – great minds, my friend! Thank you, dear! 🙂
I am all about the no-churn ice cream recipes and this one looks absolutely perfect. Such great flavor combos with the vanilla and blueberry and lemon!
Thanks so much, Sam! I appreciate that!
Haha I am totally on board with more ice cream! It’s my favorite 🙂 Love that this is no churn and I could just drink up the blueberry sauce all by itself!
That sauce is the kicker! Thanks, my friend! Hope your week is off to a great start!
Okay, this is me with Amazon. Amazon Prime is a dangerous thing, and now that I have my own Amazon Student account, it’s been taken to the next level! But when you have fresh blueberry ice cream, everything is a ok 🙂
Oh no…what does the next level look like? It can’t be good! hahahah! 😉 Thanks friend… Yes, ice cream makes everything better!
Annie, I can totally relate! For me, it’s online shopping . . My problem is that I subscribe to too many stores and get emails whenever things go on sale .. between this and my husband’s obsession with Amazon, we know both the Fed Ex and UPS guys too well .. ok, this ice cream is GORGEOUS! Absolutely love this flavor combo and GORGEOUS photos!
hahaha! Yes! I didn’t think I could be alone in this…they get me every time with their sales! Thank you so much, Alice! I appreciate that! 🙂
no churn ice creams are awesome indeed! love this ice cream Annie, the blueberry sauce looks so good, yum!
Thanks, Manali! 🙂
Yup! Need. More. Icecream. All that we can eat for sure! It has been soooo hot. Between the ice cream and popsicles, my freezer has been working overtime! Delicious, Annie!
I bet it’s been working overtime! We’re having an unbelievable summer! Thanks for stopping by, my friend! Stay cool!
What a great way to eat some fresh blueberries! I am a big fan of berries and fruits. And this ice-cream looks just to die for, Annie! Can’t wait to try this beauty!
This is just one of my favorite ways to eat fresh berries! Thanks, Anu!!
I love catalog shopping 🙂 This ice cream looks fantastic, I just made vanilla blueberry, but it is a slightly different recipe, will post it soon! Love that yours doesn’t require churning! Pinned!
Hahahah! Good – I’m not alone in my love for catalogs… 😉 Yum! I will look forward to your recipe! I can’t get enough! Thanks, friend!
I’m loving no-churn ice cream, too! Its the best and so easy to make! I’m loving this blueberry version, Annie! That sauce looks amazing. I think I would add that to just about everything!
I am with you, Gayle! I could add it to everything! Thanks, friend!
