I love the vision of melting ice cream!! Can you see this blueberry ice cream? With the way it’s melting you can imagine how hot our summer gets here. This is inside the house. Usually, we would have the air conditioning on but the kids were having a water party, so we had to keep all the doors and windows open. Water fights as the kids like to call it, is the only thing that gets kids excited about summer and of course drinks and ice cream.

Because of hot summers, we do go thru quite a bit of ice cream, popsicles, and drinks in our home. Which can be quite expensive and indulgent too. Making homemade definitely is one way to make it easier on the wallet.

Finding that balance?

We have to find that balance when we can have a mix of both the indulgent treats such as this blueberry ice cream or one that’s much healthier such as my strawberry yogurt popsicles. I do make quite a few of those not so heavy ice creams too and I plan to share them with you soon.

For now, let’s just enjoy this melt in the mouth blueberry ice cream (literally). I must warn you,  this ice cream does melt easily because it is quite rich. The vanilla pastry cream is rich and delicious made with egg yolks and sugar, the whipped cream is 38% fat and the blueberry filling.. oh you just have to make my blueberry filling to know how awesome and versatile that blueberry filling is. You can use it as a filling in cakes or pies and tarts of course. Remember my blueberry tart? It’s great topped over desserts like my Mini blueberry cheesecakes.
