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!

The blueberry flavor really stands out
Yay! Thank you!
Oh wow – I’m a huge fan on blueberries! Every morning when I wake up I eat blueberries with yogurt and oats. I should make this my last meal everyday to keep with the theme – blueberries and cream. Love this no churn ice cream!! Pinned!
I say YES to your blueberry theme….nothing like starting and ending your day with these sweet babies! 🙂
I absolutely couldn’t be trusted around this ice cream, especially since it’s no churn and easy to make! I personally don’t think you could post too much ice cream this year since we’re in the midst of some seriously hot temperatures!
You’re right! We can never have too much no-churn! Thank you, dear!
Oh I could not be trusted around this ice cream! It looks amazing, Annie. Blueberries are the BEST. Ice cream is, too. 🙂
Thank you, Alyssa! Yes – this dessert definitely has that effect on people! 🙂

I would argue this is definitely NOT an issue…because I do the same thing! Can we just eat ice cream together all the way into winter? I have too many ice cream ideas not to. Love the fruity twist in this!
Yes, please!! Ice cream ’til winter with you! It’s a plan! 🙂
