Blueberry-Lime Ice Cream Recipe
- 2 cups blueberries
- 1 star anise star
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Peeled zest of 1 lime
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 6 egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons lime juice from 1 lime, or to taste
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- In a non-reactive medium saucepan, cook blueberries on medium heat with star anise, cinnamon, lime zest, and sugar until the blueberries lose their shape and a jammy syrup forms, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove star anise and transfer to blender.
- On top of blueberries add cream, then milk, then egg yolks. Blend on high speed until thoroughly pureed, about 30 seconds. Strain into a clean medium saucepan.
- Cook base on medium heat, stirring frequently, until a custard forms on a spoon but a finger swiped across the back leaves a clean line. Remove from heat and strain into an airtight container. Stir in lime juice to taste, then salt to taste. Base should have a slight but not pronounced tartness.
- Chill overnight in refrigerator, then the next day, churn according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer ice cream to freezer and chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
