No Churn Blueberry Mascarpone Ice Cream

We're back with another ice cream recipe (and this time no ice cream maker needed!)! Let's make some No Churn Blueberry Mascarpone Ice Cream!

 

Why I love this recipe

So after posting that Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream a few months ago and the homemade fro-yo, I got a handful of emails asking for a recipe that didn't require an ice cream maker! I feel you - they take up a lot of space and you really only use them for 1 season a year. So here we go - No Churn Blueberry Mascarpone Ice Cream is coming your way and you need nothing but a loaf pan and a freezer.

The base of this Blueberry Mascarpone Ice Cream is INSANE. It's a mascarpone cheese mixture that gets mixed into some whipped heavy cream and then stirred together with a quick blueberry jam. You could do this exact same mixture with any summer fruit. Strawberries - yes. Peaches or Nectarines or Apricots - absolutely. Blackberries - incredible! Cherries - heck yes. You get the idea. All you need is that creamy base, a cooked fruit compote/jam situation and you're sitting pretty. Serve it up on a cone or in a cup and enjoy the fruits of your labor!

How to Make This Recipe

Tips and Tricks

This recipe is super straight forward - the only real tip or trick you need to know is that you adjust the fruit to your liking. If you're more of a strawberry fan, use that instead of blueberries. Prefer blackberries, please be my guest. Making this during cherry season... you get the idea!
