Instructions

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir gently and cook for 5–7 minutes until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Let it cool completely.
Blend the cooled berry mixture with vanilla extract, whole milk, heavy cream, and salt until smooth.
Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami container, seal it, and freeze for at least 24 hours.
Once frozen solid, place the container into the Ninja Creami machine and select the “Ice Cream” setting.
Check the texture. If crumbly, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and run another cycle to achieve a creamy texture.
Serve immediately or return to the freezer for a firmer texture.

Notes

Swap blueberries with other berries like strawberries, raspberries, or mixed berries for variations.

Use coconut milk and plant-based cream for a dairy-free version.

Add crushed graham crackers after spinning for a cheesecake-style twist.

Substitute sugar with honey or maple syrup for a natural sweetener option.

Fold in mini chocolate chips after blending for added texture and sweetness.
