No-Churn Blueberry-Cheesecake Ice Cream
- cheesecake Bites:
- 2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs from 4 sheets
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- sauce Blueberry
- 3 cups fresh blueberries about 1 1/2 pints
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ice cream
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 6 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest finely
- 1 pinch salt
- Make the cheesecake bites: Toss the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and 1 tablespoon sugar in a medium bowl. Divide between two 1 1/2-cup bowls or ramekins; press into the bottoms and up the sides. Put the cream cheese in the medium bowl (no need to wipe clean); stir with a spatula. Add the heavy cream, lemon juice, vanilla and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; mix until smooth. Spoon into the prepared bowls, cover and freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Remove the bowls from the freezer and run a knife around the cheesecakes; turn out onto a cutting board and roughly chop. Cover and keep frozen until ready to use.
- Meanwhile, make the blueberry sauce: Combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook, stirring occasionally, gently squashing the berries as they soften, until the mixture is thick and shiny, about 30 minutes. (You should have about 1? cups of sauce; cook slightly longer to reduce if necessary.) Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate until cold.
- Make the ice cream: Put the heavy cream, cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest and salt in a food processor; process until very thick and fluffy. Layer the ice cream mixture, blueberry sauce and cheesecake bites in a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing against the surface; freeze at least 3 hours. Let sit at room temperature 20 minutes before scooping.
