After sampling this flavor at an ice cream stand, I kept trying to duplicate it until it was just right, relates Melissa Symington from Neche, North Dakota. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1/2 cup water |
1-1/4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
graham cracker mixture: |
2-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 36 squares) |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
ice cream: |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant cheesecake or vanilla pudding mix |
1 quart heavy whipping cream |
2 cups milk |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir in water until smooth. Stir in blueberries and lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, sugar and cinnamon. Stir in butter. Pat into an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack.
3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the ice cream ingredients. Fill ice cream freezer cylinder two-thirds full; freeze according to manufacturer's directions. Refrigerate remaining mixture until ready to freeze. Whisk before adding to ice cream freezer (mixture will have some lumps).
4. Crumble the graham cracker mixture. In a large container, layer the ice cream, graham cracker mixture and blueberry sauce three times; swirl. Freeze. Yield: 2 quarts.
