Ingredients

For the blueberry compote you’ll need:

  • Blueberries– Fresh are best but you could use frozen in a pinch. If using fresh, wash them and let them dry.
  • Lemon juice– To help break the berries down.
  • Sugar– Granulated

To make the streusel you’ll need:

  • Flour– All purpose
  • Sugar– Granulated
  • Salt
  • Butter– Cold and cut into cubes

For the ice cream itself you’ll need:

  • Heavy cream– Do not substitute this for a lower fat dairy. It won’t work!
  • Sweetened condensed milk– 1 14 ounce can

How to Make

Like the ingredients list, let’s break making down this no churn blueberry muffin ice cream into 3 easy parts: the compote, the streusel, and the ice cream itself.

To Make The Compote

Stir the blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar together in a large skillet over medium heat.

Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the berries have burst and the liquid thickens into syrup.

Transfer the compote to a mason jar and let it cool completely before using.

For the Streusel

Add the flour, sugar, and pinch of salt to a food processor.

Spread the streusel out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Stir the streusel up, spread it back out into an even layer, and then bake it an additional 10 minutes.

Break it up again, and let it cool completely.

To Make the Ice Cream

Once the compote and the streusel are cool, you can start the ice cream.

Whip the heavy cream until it’s light, fluffy, and stiff peaks have formed using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. 

Fold in the sweetened condensed milk until evenly combined.

Chill the mixture for 30 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to a metal loaf pan.

Stir 1/2 cup of the compote and 5 tablespoons of the streusel into the ice cream, just until incorporated.

Smooth the mixture out, cover it, and freeze for 2 hours.

After 2 hours, serve and enjoy!

Storing

If you don’t plan to eat all the no churn ice cream at once, I recommend transferring it out of the loaf pan after two hours into an air tight freezer safe container.

It will keep in the freezer for about 3 months.

If you freeze it for longer than 2 hours or so or store it longer term, let the ice cream sit on the counter for 15 minutes or so to soften before scooping it out and serving.

Tips and Tricks

  • Make sure not to overwhip the cream or you will end up with butter!
  • For extra flavor, you could add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the ice cream mix.

    Hello!

    This sounds amazing! I started making it tonight before reading completely, and had a few questions. I was wondering how much cinnamon to use? Also, what do you do with all the left over blueberry mix, 2 pints gave me much more than a 1/2 cup! I also had the same question for streusel. If we only need 5 tbsp can the ratios be smaller? Or am I missing something where we use more of these.

    Thanks!

    1. So I typically end up stirring most of my syrup in, it just makes for a ‘softer’ soft serve ice cream. Any excess I save for pancakes or waffles. What streussel topping I don’t use in the ice cream, I store in a ziplocking back and serve over the bowls as I serve the ice cream. I hope that helps, and it’s one of my favorite no churn ice cream flavors in the Spring & Summer.

  2. The thought of enjoying the taste of freshly baked blueberry muffins in a creamy, homemade ice cream is simply irresistible. Thanks for sharing and for joining Fiesta Friday Party! We hope to see you again next week!
