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.

Tools to make this easy recipe
- Ninja Blender – I love my ninja blender. Not only can you use it for the obvious, like smoothies and shakes, but it also works perfectly for making the ice cream base!
- Ninja Creami ice cream maker – I am in love with this Ninja Creami.Â
- Ninja Creami Pints - I opted for these pints because they were about half the price, but be weary if you need them quickly; it took about three weeks to get here. They did have some prime options for other pint containers, but I was being thrifty.

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.
