Substitutions For Lemon Blueberry Ice Cream Recipe
If you are dairy-free, you can swap the heavy cream for almond milk or coconut milk. It may take longer to firm up in the ice cream maker, but if you don't mind waiting then you can still have delicious dairy-free blueberry lemon ice cream! Oh, sweet blueberry! 🫐 But real cream is always best if you can do it.
It's super easy! You do the exact directions, mix everything in a mixing bowl and combine. Then simply add the prepared blueberry lemon ice cream mixture to a pre-frozen cake loaf pan, seal with tinfoil, and pop in the freezer overnight. It will freeze the same way it goes in the ice cream maker.
You sure can! Sprinkles are my favorite topping of choice, but whipped cream is delicious and so is chocolate syrup, graham crackers, and homemade blueberry sauce! This makes delicious ice cream.
Lemon and blueberry pair well together because the tartness of lemon complements the sweetness of blueberries, enhancing their flavor. This is the best creamy ice cream recipe!

Trying this weekend. If you don't the ask - what does the pumpkin spice add to recipe?
Genevieve
Hi Greg! Thanks for your comment. It adds a bit of spice to the ice cream and I find the cinnamon helps to balance out the blueberry flavor a bit, but it's totally optional. 🙂
