Blueberry Crumble Ice Cream
Melissa Ben-Ishay
This ice cream is inspired by my favorite smoothie. I’m normally not into fruit in my desserts, but this is incredible. I added my favorite crumble topping for extra texture and a touch of saltiness, and the results are SO GOOD. The best part—you don’t need an ice cream machine to make it.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups frozen blueberries
- 1 pint heavy cream
- ¾ 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup tahini
- ¼ cup maple syrup, divided
- 3 teaspoons vanilla paste, divided
For the crumble
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup all-purpose flour, heat-treated (baked @ 350F for 5-7 minutes)
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla paste
- Salt, to taste
Directions
- Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add the blueberries. Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries have reduced slightly.
- While the blueberries cook, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the heavy cream on high until stiff peaks form. It should be like whipped cream. Don’t overbeat or you’ll get butter.
- Fold the condensed milk into the whipped cream, then add the tahini, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 2 teaspoons vanilla paste, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to get everything combined.
- Stir remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla paste, and a pinch of salt into the reduced blueberries. Let cool.
- While the blueberries cool, make the crumble. Melt the butter in a small bowl.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Slowly pour the butter into the mixture until the consistency is like wet sand.
- In a freezer-safe container (use whatever you have), layer ½ cup of the whipped cream mixture, top with a few spoonfuls of blueberry mixture, and top with a layer of crumble. Repeat until you run out of ingredients or space in your container, whichever comes first.
- Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours, until the ice cream is fully frozen. Scoop and serve.
