2 cups heavy cream, cold
1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions

- Cool blueberry mixture completely.

Notes
Use frozen blueberries if fresh aren’t available (no need to thaw before cooking).
Add crushed graham crackers for a blueberry cheesecake twist.
For extra citrus flavor, add lime zest to the ice cream base.
Swirl in lemon curd for a richer variation.
Top scoops with fresh blueberries, honey, or white chocolate chips before serving.
Double the recipe and freeze in two pans if serving a crowd.
