This homemade blueberry ice cream is so Summery, and so wonderful. We just love the flavors here. Creamy, not too sweet, and simply incredible. This homemade blueberry ice cream is also awesome between homemade oatmeal cookies (recipe to come). We just got married one week ago, and our wonderful dear friend Liz gave us an incredible ice cream maker from Cuisinart. They are amazing, and make ice cream making so easy. We love you Liz (and your Pop, too!). Just amazing.
