Ingredients

  • Heavy Whipping Cream. Whipped until thick and fluffy, the whipped cream gives homemade no churn ice cream a light, creamy, rich texture.
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk. Adds sweetness and makes the ice cream smooth and creamy.
  • Vanilla Bean Paste. Adds loads of vanilla flavor and pretty specks throughout the ice cream. If you don’t have vanilla bean paste, you can also use vanilla extract.
  • Salt. Balances the sweetness.
  • Blueberry Jam. Swirled into the ice cream, the blueberry jam adds so much blueberry flavor and looks just gorgeous, too.

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream with the vanilla and salt until soft, fluffy peaks form.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk and beat until well combined.
Cream and milk whisked together in a bowl.
  • Pour the ice cream mixture into a lidded ice cream container. Freeze for several hours (at least 3-4), until it begins to thicken and firm up. The ice cream will be more solid around the edges, so you can stir it a few times to help it freeze more evenly.

  • Once the ice cream is getting cold and thick, dollop the blueberry jam on top and swirl it in. (If you add the jam before the ice cream starts to freeze, the jam will just sink to the bottom of the container.)
  • Return the ice cream to the freezer and freeze until firm enough to scoop, at least 6-8 more hours, or overnight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What blueberry jam did you use?

For today’s recipe, I used Bonne Maman Wild Blueberry Preserves.

How can I make a lower sugar ice cream?

It can be difficult to control the sweetness of no churn ice cream recipes, since sweetened condensed milk contains sugar, and you can’t adjust the amount. However, you can choose a low sugar blueberry jam or make your own homemade blueberry jam with less sugar, to reduce some of the sugar in the recipe.

How long does homemade ice cream last?

Homemade ice cream is best eaten within about 2 weeks.
