Creamy blueberry ice cream is a summer treat that you simply need to taste to believe. It’s truly unforgettable.

I love berries with cream together in almost any form, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a blueberry ice cream in the store. (I have no doubt that someone makes one though!)

Homemade Blueberry Ice Cream

I had originally planned to make a simple batch of vanilla ice cream to serve with chocolate and caramel sauces for dessert. However, when I opened the refrigerator to grab the milk and cream, I spied the blueberries on the shelf.

One thought led to another, and the next thing I knew I had everything in the blender together.

Blueberries and Cream Ice Cream

My boys went nuts over this ice cream. It was delicious soft-serve right out of the ice cream maker. I had a hard time waiting while it firmed up more in the freezer.

I felt obligated to “test” the recipe once more before sharing it with you, and let me

Rum Raisin Ice Cream is full of rum-soaked raisins mixed in custardy vanilla ice cream with a hint of rum. This recipe is a little bit old school and a whole lot of creamy delicious.

Rum Raisin Ice Cream

This recipe is a good bit more involved than my usual ice cream recipes, but sometimes, the end result is just plain worth the effort. This is absolutely one of those times.

I found this recipe in Great Scoops: Recipes from a Neighborhood Ice Cream Shop. I had such fun flipping through this gorgeous ice cream cookbook. While my love of ice cream is a well-documented thing, it’s also fun to check out someone else’s flavor combinations.

Rum Raisin ice cream has been on my must-try list for years and I simply never got around to it. The description in the book had me sold on it immediately.

Similar to the Blueberry Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream from Rusconi’s, my forever beloved Cafe con Leche Ice Cream, and the French Custard Style Cinnamon Ice Cream as well, you need to temper and use egg yolks in this recipe.

Don’t be intimidated, I promise it’s simple enough for all of us to do. While there are 60+ egg-free Philadelphia-style ice cream recipes on this website, sometimes, you just need to allow yourself a few extra minutes in the kitchen for an extra special result.

There isn’t a shortcut to this recipe. Yes, you can take the rum-soaked raisins and just stir them into a batch of the Best and Easiest Homemade Ice Cream. Will it be tasty? Yes. Will it be anything at all like this classic recipe for Rum Raisin Ice Cream? No.

Take the time to make this creamy, ultra rich, custard-based ice cream exactly the way Marlene Haley of The Merry Dairy intended it, my friends. You’re going to love it.

Sweet chunks of edible cookie dough fill each scoop of this rich and creamy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Is there anything more irresistible than a spoonful of cookie dough? I know that I can never resist it.

The Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough that I shared yesterday was the inspiration for this ice cream. Every single cookie dough filled bite is creamy ice cream heaven.

The most popular question I get is whether it’s possible to make ice cream without a machine. The answer is YES. You can make ice cream without a machine. Find the full directions here!

Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

While making the edible cookie dough is the most time-intensive part of this recipe, it’s well worth the effort!

You can stir the cookie dough together while the ice cream churns and the cookie dough chunks will be ready to stir into the ice cream when it’s finished churning.

Wondering how those cute chunks are made? It’s easier than you might think! Just press the cookie dough out across a parchment-lined tray and chill in the refrigerator or freezer until firm.

Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the cold cookie dough into 1/2-inch chunks. The cookie dough chunks can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Oh, the awesomeness of cookie dough. It’s forever a favorite snack in our house. Is there anyone who can resist the urge to snack on a bite or two of dough when baking cookies?

Edible cookie dough is great for a few different reasons. Not only is it delicious, but it’s wonderfully snackable. And it gets bonus points for being freezable and thawing quickly when the craving hits.

What could be more better than a bag of cookie dough bites stashed in the freezer? Pop them on a plate and you’ll have a sweet snack ready to eat in minutes.

Can You Eat Raw Cookie Dough?

While many people (myself included) eat a bite or two of raw cookie dough without giving it a second thought, when planning a whole recipe’s worth of raw cookie dough to share with friends or family there are a few precautions you may want to follow.

First, skip the egg. That one probably goes without saying. I think most of us avoid consuming raw eggs, right?

Second, it turns out that you aren’t supposed to eat raw flour. However, if you’re like me, you’ve probably been tasting cookie dough and cake batters your entire life without any issues at all, right?

That said, when making a full batch of cookie dough with plans to consume it raw, it’s not a bad idea to follow the safety recommendation and toast the flour for a few minutes in the oven first. I’ve provided directions below for heat-treating the flour.
