Homemade blueberry ice cream: Fresh flavors and health benefits

Fruit ice creams are quite popular during the summer season. Apparently, the strawberry-flavored ones have the most fans. However, my favorites are definitely blueberry.

You can quickly prepare blueberry ice cream at home, even if you don't have a special machine for this type of dessert. Why is it worth doing? Let's face it, if it's going to be ice cream and not sorbet, it will have some calories. However, the advantage of homemade ice cream is that it has a short ingredient list without any flavor enhancers. It's a real treat for enthusiasts of intense blueberry flavor!

Blueberries are most associated with trendy blueberry pastries. However, they are suitable for many desserts, smoothies, pancakes, or dumplings. Although their prices aren't low, especially at the beginning of the season, it's worth eating them as often as possible. They are often called superfoods. They are primarily natural antibiotics. They prevent the multiplication of bacteria and viruses. They also support the digestive system. They speed up digestion and help detoxify the body by removing harmful metabolic products. Blueberries have numerous health benefits and even positively affect the skin. This is mainly thanks to vitamins and fruit acids. They hydrate, smooth, and brighten the skin.

Homemade ice creams are prepared quickly but are a dessert for the patient. They will be ready only after six hours. If you want to eat them sooner, you can prepare them in small containers or on sticks. Then they will be ready in just three hours. Ice cream from this recipe is creamy and intensely blueberry.

Ingredients:     

• 2 cups of blueberries
• 1 cup of 30 percent cream
• about 1 cup of sugar

Preparation Method:           

1. Rinse the blueberries and pick out leaves and stems. Blend the fruits smoothly using a blender, for example.
2. Place the chilled cream in a tall container. Beat it with a mixer on low speed initially, then gradually increase the speed.
3. After a few minutes, add the sugar spoon by spoon while continuing to mix. The sugar should be dissolved entirely.
4. Add some whipped cream to the bowl with the blended blueberries. Mix everything thoroughly with a spoon. Add the rest of the cream and stir again.
5. Transfer the mixture to a container with a lid and place it in the freezer.
6. After 2 hours of freezing, blend the ice cream again. After another four hours, they should be ready. If the ice cream stays in the freezer longer, take it out earlier before serving. They may be very frozen.
