🧾 Ingredients:

Ice Cream Base:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened

Blueberry Swirl:

  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

🥣 Instructions & Methods:

1. Make the Blueberry Swirl:

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water.
  2. Cook for 8–10 minutes, gently mashing some berries with a spoon.
  3. If desired, stir in cornstarch to thicken.
  4. Let the compote simmer until slightly syrupy. Cool completely.

2. Prepare the Ice Cream Base:

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Add granulated sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  3. Slowly add whole milk, whisking until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.

3. Assemble:

  1. Pour half of the ice cream base into a freezer-safe container.
  2. Drizzle half of the blueberry compote on top. Swirl lightly with a knife or skewer.
  3. Repeat with remaining base and blueberry swirl.
  4. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.

📜 History:

Cheesecake has origins dating back to ancient Greece, while ice cream emerged in Persia and China before evolving in Italy and France. Combining the two is a modern culinary marvel—no-churn methods have popularized homemade versions, making gourmet ice cream accessible to everyone.

  • Calcium-Rich – Cream, milk, and cream cheese support bone health.
  • Mood-Boosting – Cold sweets + fruit = happy brain!

🧪 Formation (How it Comes Together):

The no-churn method relies on whipped cream for airiness and cream cheese for structure. The sugars dissolve to prevent crystallization, while the blueberry swirl introduces tang and color. Swirling layers creates aesthetic marbling and balanced flavor in every bite.
