No Churn Blueberry Pie Ice Cream

Blueberry Pie is our official ice cream flavor of summer. Easy no churn vanilla ice cream swirled with blueberry pie filling and crushed graham crackers. It doesn't get much sweeter!

No-Churn Blueberry Pie Ice Cream

The twins and I love making no churn ice cream because it's so easy, delicious, and much faster than traditional custard based ice cream. We make a strawberry no-churn that's out of this world good as well as a fresh mint ice cream. The best part, you can really customize the base with any flavors you like. Today it was blueberry pie.

Ingredients in Blueberry Pie Ice Cream

• heavy whipping cream – it’s gotta be the heavy stuff!
• vanilla extract – good, real vanilla extract to give that rich ice cream flavor.
• sweetened condensed milk – this takes the place of any egg yolks to give a richness and also sweetness to your ice cream!
• blueberry pie filling - you can either use canned pie filling or make your own! I'll share how to make it easily from scratch in the recipe card.
• graham crackers - these are the "crust" of our blueberry pie and add such a delicious flavor to the ice cream.

How to Make Blueberry Pie Ice Cream

1. Make the Vanilla Ice Cream Base: In an electric mixer or in a bowl using a hand mixer, beat cream and vanilla until you have firm peaks…aka whipped cream. Mix in the condensed milk and vanilla.
2. Pour the vanilla ice cream mixture into a loaf pan.
3. Swirl in pie filling and crushed graham crackers and use a knife to swirl it through the base.
4. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight until completely firm.
5. Enjoy. Once the ice cream is solid, scoop and serve!

Possible Flavor Variations

You can use pretty much any flavor of pie filling you like to change up the flavor of this dessert. Cherry pie filling, apple, you name it! I prefer blueberry because it doesn't have large chunks of fruit will freeze and create hard chunks throughout your ice cream. Smoother fillings work best. 

How to Get the Perfect Swirl

To achieve that perfect swirl in your ice cream you want to layer first and then swirl! Start by adding half of the vanilla ice cream base to the pan, dollop on pie filling and crushed crackers, layer the rest of the vanilla ice cream, more dollops of pie filling and crackers. To swirl, use a butter knife to drag a swirled pattern through the ice cream.
