    How many quarts does this recipe make? My ice cream maker is 4 quarts and I would like to make the full 4 quarts.

      I usually get between 1 1/2 – 2 quarts.

      I haven’t tried that, but as long as you dissolve it well, it would probably be fine.

    The pictures show a marbling that would suggest everything churned together, yet the instructions are to layer the ice cream base, blueberry sauce, and graham crackers in a container. That evokes an image of layer cake ice cream, not what’s so perfectly photographed here. Is it all stirred up upon serving? Can I churn it all together?

      Sorry, it was a bit confusing, so I clarified the instructions on the recipe card. You layer the ingredients in multiple layers in a freezer container, then you can gently swirl them together. I don’t recommend churning everything together because the grackers fall apart, and the berries can get smashed. It will still taste good, but the texture isn’t as good, and it definitely won’t be very pretty. Hope that helps!

    Can you use blueberry jam instead of making the berry mixture?

      I don’t recommend using blueberry jam. Not only is it thicker, but the ratio of sugar to berries is much higher. The berry flavor wouldn’t shine through, it would be overly sweet. A low sugar jam might work, but you would need to thin it with some water.

    I made this today and it is fabulous. Such good flavor, creamy and rich. I think next time I would make a couple of different fruit sauces so people have a choice of flavors to add to the plain cream cheese ice cream. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for the great recipe.

    The Blueberry Ice-cream looks wonderful!
    Does this or any of your recipes make an ice-cream that will last in the freezer without turning into a brick that needs a chainsaw to serve?
    I have had this problem with most of the recipes have tried. (I have not tried yours yet).
    Many years ago I had an ice-cream maker that used ice and salt for cooling. It was very effective and the results were very popular with kids and adults alike. It was never necessary to use it all on the day it was made. Now I find that all the recipes state that they are intended to be used within a few hours of being made and will go too hard if left. You will understand that my wife and I can not eat a litre of ice-cream in a day! With summer coming I want to have some successful ice-cream on the menu.

      Put your container of ice cream in a Walmart or grocery store plastic bag and tightly twist closed. It keeps the ice cream soft.

    I made this last year (a double batch) and it was such a hit that I just made it again. I give it to relatives and friends and take some to work and save the rest in the freezer for me for later…it is SO GOOD!

    I asked my dad if he wanted ice cream or a cheesecake for his birthday. He said “How about an ice cream cheesecake!” Challenge accepted! I found this recipe and instead of adding graham crackers in the end, I just put it inside a springform pan with a graham cracker crust. It was a huge hit at his party. Several commented that it was their new favorite dessert. I will for sure make this again.

    Great recipe, my family loved it and it was so easy to follow. I ended up improvising, I was out of frozen blueberries so I substituted raspberries. I used a strainer to capture the sauce without the pulp and berries. Also, I mixed the graham crackers with 1/4 cup of melted butter and 1 tsp of sugar and baked on a cookie sheet for 10 minutes. After I baked the graham cracker mixture I let it cool before crushing it up to add the last 5 minutes in the ice cream maker. I put the ice cream batter in the freezer for 3 hours before pouring into my kitchen aid ice cream maker and it took 15 minutes to thicken, then I added the raspberry sauce and the graham cracker mixture. Delish. My family loved it, it’s everyone’s favorite. I will be buying blueberries next week to make the original recipe.

    Just want to make sure – you mention freezing it in an ice cream maker but you don’t mention using the ice cream maker. Is this a no-churn recipe? Can I make it if I don’t have an ice cream maker? Looks delicious!

    This was the best homemade ice cream I’ve ever made! My husband and I loved it, but my kids (3 and 6 years old) didn’t like the little bits of lemon zest. This is my favorite ice cream right now, and I can’t wait to experiment with other kinds of fruit in it. Thanks so much!

    I made this for a family bbq to go alongside a summer pudding. Nicest ice cream I’ve had in ages! I mixed it all in the icecream maker though so didn’t get the ripple.

      Claire, did you like having it all mixed together? Could you still taste the lemon? Did you freeze it after having it in the ice cream maker? I’m trying to decide if I can add more milk in the ice cream maker and eat it directly after. Thanks in advance!

      I have never used artificial sweetener, so I’m not sure. If you have had good results using it in other ice cream recipes, I bet it would work for this one. Good luck!

    What type of consistency will it be after it’s been in the ice cream maker? Could it be served after that or, is an additional 2-3 hours of freezing necessary?

      When it comes out of the ice cream freezer it will be like a soft serve ice cream. You can serve it like that, but the blueberry sauce won’t be frozen, so it will make the ice cream even softer.

      Just boil the sugar and berries alone. You can mash the berries if as they are cooking it seems too dry. Of course if for some reason your mixture is really dry, you could add a little water, but I have never had to.

      If you don’t have an ice cream maker, I recommend whipping the cream first. It will definitely turn out better. If you just freeze it without beating the cream, you will end up with a hard brick. Whipping should help it have a better texture.
