Blueberry Ice Cream For Ice Cream Machine

This is a creamy ice cream with a beautiful fresh blueberry and vanilla flavour. I adapted this from a strawberry ice cream recipe that came with my machine. The original calls for 2 tbsp of vanilla but i reduced the amount so as not to overpower the blueberry flavour. Perfect with fresh blueberries but good with frozen as well.

Steps

Whisk together egg yolks , sugar and vanilla by hand or with a mixer for 1-2 minutes , until smooth and the colour lightens.
Heat cream and milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until very hot but not boiling , about 7 minutes.
Reduce heat to low.
Add 4 tablespoons hot milk and cream , one at a time , to the egg yolk mixture , whisking each time.
Slowly pour egg mixture back into the saucepan of hot milk and cream , whisking constantly.
Cook on low , stirring , until the mixture coats the back of a teaspoon , 4-5 minutes.
Remove from heat , let cool and refrigerate until cold.
Thaw blueberries if using frozen.
When ice cream mixture is cold chop blueberries in a food processor or blender and stir into the cream mixture.
Start your machine , pour in the mix and run for 20-25 minutes or according to the directions for your machine.
Scrape ice cream into a freezable container and freeze for 2-24 hours.
The ice cream will be very soft at first but very hard after freezing.
