Ingredient Notes

• Bananas: Use ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots—these are naturally sweeter and give the ice cream its creamy texture. The riper, the better!
• Blueberries: Fresh or frozen both work! Frozen blueberries make the mixture even colder and help it freeze faster. If using fresh, you can freeze them briefly before blending for best texture.
• Honey: Adds a touch of natural sweetness and enhances the fruit flavor. You can adjust the amount to taste or substitute with maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.

Kitchen Equipment

• Blender or Food Processor
• Spatula
• Freezer-Safe Container
• Ice Cream Scoop (Optional)

How to Make Blueberry Ice Cream

1. Combine the banana, blueberries, and honey in a high-powered blender or food processor. Blend on high for several minutes or until thick & creamy.
2. Serve immediately if you love a soft serve consistency or transfer to an airtight container and freeze several hours before serving.

Can I use fresh blueberries?

No, unless you plan on freezing this recipe before you serve it. If you want a soft-serve consistency, then you want to start with frozen berries to maintain the right texture.

Do I need an ice cream maker?

Nope! This is a no-churn recipe. Just whip, fold, freeze, and enjoy—no machine required.

How long does it take to freeze?

About 4–6 hours to firm up completely. For best texture, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.

How long does it keep in the freezer?

It’s best enjoyed within 2–3 weeks for ideal texture and flavor. Keep it tightly covered to avoid freezer burn.

Can I use other fruits?

Absolutely! This recipe works great with strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, mango, or even peach. Just cook the fruit down first to remove excess moisture.
