Now I understand why I am raving more and more about Maine, here summer has started and every soul wants the cool weather to return soon:)
So here is my share of ice cream to soothe your eyes and cool the ambiance:)
Blueberry ice cream a special dessert in Maine. |
Memory: Ice cream bowls bought on a garage sale for $5 (2011)...unopened box, very neat and cute. Love this! |
Ingredients:
Blueberry - 2 cupslemon - 1/4 fruit or strawberry - 4 number
condensed milk (sweetened 14 oz can) - 1 tin
whipped topping (8 oz pack) - 2
Method:
Wash the blueberries, strawberry (if any) pat dry. Coarsely puree them in a blender. Strawberry or lemon gives a tangy hint to the sweet blueberry, which I prefer personally. It is purely optional.In a mixing bowl add the condensed milk, lemon juice (if used), 3/4 of the blueberry puree and fold in the whipped topping. Transfer to a lidded glass container suitable for freezing.
Add the left over blueberry puree little by little to give a swirl effect. Keep frozen for nearly 4 hours.
Garnish with some berries and serve.
Blueberry ice cream is ready!
Serving suggestions:
Makes nearly 15 big scoops.
Note:
1 large scoop will be less than 100 K cal (with low fat milk products).Blueberry is an antioxidant rich fruit.
We can substitute frozen blueberries for fresh ones.
