No-Churn Blueberry Mascarpone Ice Cream

Your friends are hosting a summer barbecue, and it’s your churn to bring the dessert. What do you make? This no-churn blueberry mascarpone ice cream, of course!

Materials needed to make no-churn blueberry mascarpone ice cream

It’s creamy, it’s dreamy, and takes just minutes to whip up. Literally. Simply throw these six ingredients in a stand mixer and you’re practically done.

Here’s what you need:

• heavy cream
• sweetened condensed milk
• mascarpone cheese, softened
• fresh blueberries
• lemon juice and zest
• vanilla extract

I like to add gluten-free graham crackers to my ice cream at times, to give it a good crunch. As a teenager I secretly wanted to work at Cold Stone, so this fulfills my desire to incorporate mix-ins, ha!

But how can you make no-churn ice cream without an ice cream maker?

The key is making a good base. The mixture of heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk makes it thick enough, and you don’t have to use eggs. Eggs are generally what give ice cream or custard that chewy, thick texture, but this stuff is a great alternative.

I didn’t intend to cultivate an obsession with no-churn ice cream, but convenience is my best friend, and I welcome her with open arms at any opportunity.

I’ve made multiple variations and can’t stop. You should most definitely go take a look at my no-churn strawberry ice cream and my no-churn pomegranate and salted caramel ice cream. Yes, they are as amazing as they sound! Thanks for asking!

Now it’s your turn to get your churn on.
