At a glance

This creamy homemade ice cream gets its magic from a silky vanilla base paired with a luscious blueberry compote infused with honey, thyme, and lemon. The main time commitment is the 24-hour freezer prep for your ice cream maker bowl and the chilling time between steps, but the actual hands-on cooking is surprisingly straightforward—you're just making a simple custard base and a quick blueberry reduction before churning and swirling them together.

  1. 1/10

    Prepare the ice cream maker bowl

    For perfectly creamy ice cream, place the freezer bowl of your ice cream maker in the freezer at least 24 hours in advance.

  2. 2/10

    Mix the cornstarch slurry

    In a small bowl, whisk the milk and cornstarch together until smooth. Set this mixture aside for now.

    Ingredients

    • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch

  3. 3/10

    Make the vanilla base

    Pour the remaining milk, whipping cream, sugar and salt into a saucepan, then add the seeds scraped from the vanilla pod (drop in the pod too). Heat gently, whisking constantly.
