Ingredients You’ll Need

(Full measurements in the recipe card below)

Base

  • • 1 cup milk — full fat for creaminess
  • • 1/2 cup milk — mixed with dry ingredients
  • • 1/2 cup cream — adds richness
  • • 2 tbsp milk powder — boosts protein and body

Stabilisers and Sweetener

  • • 1/4 cup sugar — adjust to taste
  • • 1/8 tsp CMC — prevents ice crystals
  • • 3/4 tbsp GMS — emulsifies for smooth texture
  • • 1 tbsp cornflour — thickens the base

Substitutions

Ingredient Swap
sugar coconut sugar for refined sugar free version
cream thick coconut cream for dairy free
CMC extra cornflour 1 tsp if CMC unavailable
⚠️ Blend GMS and CMC with cold milk first to avoid lumps in the base

How to Make It — Step by Step

1

Mix Dry into Milk

Whisk cornflour, milk powder, CMC, and GMS into the 1/2 cup cold milk until fully dissolved and no lumps remain.

2

Cook the Base

Heat 1 cup milk with sugar in a saucepan. Pour in the cold milk mixture and stir on medium heat until the base thickens. Let it cool completely.

3

Add Cream and Flavour

Once cool, stir in the cream. Add blueberry puree or any flavour of your choice and mix well.

4

First Freeze

Pour into a freezer safe container and freeze for 3 to 4 hours until it is half frozen around the edges.

5

Churn and Set

Scoop the half frozen mixture into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Return to the container and freeze for 6 hours or overnight before serving.

Tips for the Best Result

Bloom the CMC First

Mix the CMC with a small amount of cold milk and let it sit for 10 minutes before adding to the mixture. This prevents lumps and ensures a smoother, creamier ice cream texture.

Chill Before Churning

Make sure your base mixture is completely cold before pouring it into the freezer container. A warm base leads to large ice crystals and a grainy texture instead of a silky smooth scoop.

Whip for Creaminess

After the mixture is semi-frozen (about 2 to 3 hours), take it out and whip it vigorously with a hand mixer or blender. This breaks down ice crystals and gives you that soft, scoopable consistency.

How to Store

🧺

Room Temp
Do not leave blueberry ice cream at room temperature for more than 5 minutes as it melts quickly.
❄️

Refrigerator
This ice cream is not suitable for fridge storage as it will melt into a liquid.
🧊

Freezer
Store in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks for best texture and flavour.

Frequently Asked Questions

QCan I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen blueberries work perfectly well. Thaw them slightly and blend before adding to the mixture for a smooth, even colour and flavour.

QWhat is CMC and can I skip it?

CMC (Carboxymethyl Cellulose) is a food-grade stabiliser that prevents ice crystals and keeps the ice cream smooth. You can skip it, but the texture may become icier.

QCan I replace cream with more milk?

You can, but the ice cream will be less creamy and more icy. Full-fat cream is what gives that rich, scoopable texture.

QWhy is my ice cream too hard to scoop?

Let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 7 minutes before scooping. You can also add a little extra GMS next time to keep it softer straight from the freezer.
