Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream comes out absolutely delicious in the Ninja CREAMi! You'll love it because it has minimal ingredients (no gums) and the texture is amazing!
Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
I made this Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream in the Ninja CREAMi recently and it was absolutely delicious! It had a creamy texture of cheesecake and swirls of blueberry throughout.
I'm kind of obsessed with fresh blueberries. After I picked my own at a farm in Holland, Michigan, I had a ton so I made a few different ice cream and yogurt recipes.
I made a traditional blueberry ice cream, this blueberry cheesecake version and a blueberry frozen yogurt.
There is a major difference between blueberry ice cream and blueberry yogurt. The yogurt has a tangy taste and a lighter consistency, while the ice cream is much richer and indulgent.

Can you have an option for 1.5x instead of just 1x 2x 3x ?
This would be helpful for deluxe users.

I'm sorry I think those are the only options for my recipe card plugin. I do want to purchase a deluxe though so I can start making recipes with it too.
Amber
Could you use 2% milk for this?
Lara
You can try. you may have to respin a few extra times.
Lynn
Came out very dry and crumbly. re-spun 3 times which finally gave it somewhat of a creamy consistency. Very bland taste. 🙁 Tried it with the raspberry as well with same results.
Lara
Hi Lynn - did you use raw full fat goats milk? Also - I used fresh picked blueberries and raspberries so they were incredibly ripe and flavorful. I'm sorry you had bad results.
Natalie Hughes
Could you use cottage cheese I stead of cream cheese as I don’t have cream cheese but would love to try
Lara
I would think so
