Blueberries are wonderful little fruits it’s no wonder this smashed blueberry ice cream is always a hit. And the biggest win is you don’t need an ice cream machine plus the flavor is out of this world. Curious to know why. Simply scroll down and find out.?

This blueberry ice cream has a rich intense blueberry flavor with that luscious texture we all love but sometimes miss in homemade ice cream.

Now what’s the trick to the intense and somewhat crisp flavor of this smashed blueberry ice cream. Not to worry I will spill all the beans as we move along.

Have you tried my strawberry ice cream recipe yet? It’s no churn and super delicious too but the method of processing the fruits differ in both recipes. The method I used in this smashed blueberry ice cream recipe made a huge difference.

I love fruity ice cream and yoghurt. By fruity I don’t mean just the flavor, I love some melty chunks of fruity fun in my deserts. Hubby differs in this, he totally loves any thing smooth except of course in soups and stews. He believes deserts should be smooth without ‘ blockades and traffic’ most times I make smooth fruity no churn ice cream but I still try to enjoy my chunky fruity ice cream once in a while and this smashed blueberry ice cream is definitely a keeper.

The secret to this intense blueberry flavor is the fact that the blueberries were roasted not steamed like I did with my strawberry ice cream recipe. You all know how I love to use my oven Remember my Roasted bell peppers stew and oven cooked fried rice. Since roasting my blueberries turned great, that’s my new go to method to make my fruity ice creams trying. Super yum!! Be sure to seal the loaf pan with plastic wrap ( see pic 9 above ) to prevent condensation and bits of ice from forming.

Are you ready to experience this refreshing blueberry goodness? I am sure you are.
