Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash 2 cups of fresh blueberries thoroughly. In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until blueberries are soft. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  3. Once the blueberry mixture has cooled, gently fold it into the cheesecake base using a spatula, creating a swirled effect.
  4. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to instructions, about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  5. Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container, smoothing the surface. Freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.
