The ice cream season is upon us and this is the opening recipe for the season, blueberry ice cream. I don’t even have photos yet, other than of the machine, but I had to share this with you. I feel plain ole happy about our ice cream. We had to play with this recipe because I only had a little heavy cream, in the refrigerator.
Actually, this was made because of the short length of life of the heavy cream. I didn’t want to waste it, so I enlisted my husband to make this and he deserves the credit for this delicious dish. My job was to direct him. Trust that he is a very intelligent man but our conversation went something like this.
He: Did you set out the ingredients?
She: No, I thought that would be your way of helping.
He: Ok . (and he disappeared outside)
Ten minutes later………
He: Would you get the cream?
She: No, That is how you help. (He got it, then.)
He: Where is the cream?
She: In the fridge.
He: No, I meant where.
She: Top shelf – back on the right.
He: And the blueberries?
She: In the fridge.
He: But where?
She: Bottom shelf, left.
He: Got it.
Silence………
He: It says, “whisk”.
She: So, whisk it.
He: Cam’t find the whisk. Do we have one?
She: Top drawer on the right.
He: Nope, it is not there.
She: Look in the container of miscellaneous items?
He: Nope.
She: Oops, It is in the tall closet on the left.
He: I can use the electric mixer.
She: No need.
He: But, it really needs beating.
She: Just whisk it.
More quiet.
about an hour later -
He: This is delicious.
I told you he is very intelligent and he is, just not about working, in the kitchen. I should add that he is one of those rare guys who helps a lot, around the house.

I have to make olive oil ice cream next week, but I’ll have to make this as an alternative in case my family doesn’t care for the olive oil version.
This looks so easy!
This is a very easy-to-make recipe, and with out eggs!

My dad loves blueberries, I will have to make him this next time he visits! Thanks for the sharing!
Blueberries are the healthiest of all berries and this looks amazing! Thanks for sharing the ice cream love with us!
That looks so good! We’re not eating ice cream now, so reading all these wonderful recipes is torture. But I love them all.
I laughed out loud and read this do my husband. We have very similar conversations a lot
