Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, (very cold)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, (softened to room temperature)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Fruit Swirl
- 1½ cups blueberry pie filling, (divided: 1¼ cup and ¼ cup)
- Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream with a hand or stand mixer for 3-5 minutes on gradually increasing speed until stiff peaks form. Place the whipped cream in the refrigerator to keep cold.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk and Flavorings: Add the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix for another 1-2 minutes until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Remove whipped cream from refrigerator and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula. Fold carefully to keep the mixture light and fluffy without deflating the whipped cream.
- Swirl in Blueberry Filling: Dollop 1¼ cups of blueberry pie filling over the ice cream base. Use a spatula held upright to swirl the filling without fully mixing to create a marbled effect.
- Pour into Pan: Pour the blueberry cheesecake ice cream into a freezer-safe loaf pan and gently spread into an even layer.
- Decorate Top: Use the remaining ¼ cup blueberry pie filling to place small dollops on top of the ice cream. Lightly swirl with a butter knife or toothpick to create a decorative pattern.
- Freeze: Lightly cover the pan with aluminum foil, avoiding disturbance of the swirls, and freeze for a minimum of 8-10 hours or overnight until frozen and set.
- Serve: Remove from freezer, scoop into cones or bowls, and serve immediately while still frozen.
Notes
- Use very cold heavy cream for best whipping results.
- Softening the cream cheese to room temperature helps it blend smoothly.
- Be careful not to overmix when folding in whipped cream to maintain airy texture.
- Swirling blueberry pie filling creates an attractive marbled effect without fully blending the fruit into the base.
- The recipe requires no ice cream machine.
- Freezing time is essential to achieve the right texture.
