Roasted Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• ¼ cup sugar
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• 2 Line a rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• 3 In a bowl, combine blueberries and sugar. Toss to coat. Pour onto parchment
  lined cookie sheet. Place in the oven and cook for about 8 to 9 minutes.
• 4 Remove from the oven, and allow to cool completely. Place in covered dish in the
  fridge until you need to mix them in the ice cream base.
• 5 Place the cream cheese in a stand mixer, whip until it's fluffy. Now in the same
  stand mixer combine the whole milk and sugar with the cream cheese, turn mixer
  on low and gradually increase speed to high, whisk until sugar dissolves.
• 6 Add the heavy cream and the vanilla extract. Whisk on low speed and gradually
  increase to high, continue whisking until mixture thickens.
• 7 Turn of mixer, and add blueberries, being careful not to splash them anywhere or
  your counter will be blue. Turn on mixer, slowly, and I'm not even remotely
  kidding, go slow and gradually increase speed or your backsplash will be blue.
  And you clothes, And anything else you spray with blueberries because you wanted
  to be a rebel and not listen to me.
• 8 Now take your blue splattered self over to your freezer and grab your ice cream
  machine bowl. It should always be in your freezer. That way it's always ready to
  churn. And let's backtrack for one minute, when I say always this does not mean
  mix the ice cream in the freezer. I mean use some sense people, obviously you
  take it out when churning and then put it back in. But just in case someone
  actually thinks that I thought I'd clarify. Moving on.
• 9 Transfer the blueberry mixture into your frozen bowl, and set that on your ice
  cream machine. Turn on and churn for about 10 to 15 minutes. You want it thick
  but still with some give. If you hear "tick tick tick" your machine is stuck
  because you mixed until it was too hard. Don't do that. Respect your ice cream
  machine man, that thing should be your best friend.
• 10 Now pop the ice cream bowl in the freezer, I cover mine with tinfoil or
  parchment with a rubber band around it. I'm cool like that. Kicking it old
  school because I freaking hate plastic wrap with a passion. Seriously, it's
  freaking evil. They should banish it from existence.
• 11 Okay so make sure you let it set up for about 4 hours, unless you want soft
  serve. If that's the case have at it immediately. Whatever floats your ice cream
  boat. man.
• 12 Serve with a big old blue smile!
