Third recipe of the week! Bam! I told you guys I’m back in the zone.
I think now that we are somewhat settled and have a bit of a schedule, I’m full of ideas for recipes and blog posts so I hope you are into it. In addition to food related content, I have lots of plans to share some of the projects we’re doing around the house, including our handmade farmhouse table and some other decorating things.
Look out for the first of those posts next week, but today let’s talk about this ice cream!
After not breaking out my ice cream maker in way too long, it was time for something good. It’s been hot and humid and I’ve been living that popsicle and ice cream life.
Our local farmer’s market has been full of beautiful blueberries, so I couldn’t resist using some for the most gorgeous colored ice cream ever. (Don’t you agree?)
This ice cream was perfect. Creamy, sweet, a bit tart, rich but also light tasting at the same time. We ate it as is, but wouldn’t it be fantastic over a slice of lemon pound cake or something?
Of course now that summer is almost over I have a burst of fantastic ideas for ice cream desserts, so you may be getting a fabulous fall flavor in the coming weeks. Apple Pie Ice Cream anyone??
*I love making homemade buttermilk or "sour milk" which is just some lemon juice or vinegar added to regular milk until it curdles. Since I only seem to be able to find lowfat buttermilk and I wanted full fat for this ice cream, I opted to just DIY it with some half and half. Either option works.

**adding the vodka is optional but it really helps keep the ice cream from freezing too hard!

LOVE that you are back in the zone! I wish I could say the same for myself, but that might be hoping for too much. Fingers crossed that I can get my act together enough to get this ice cream churned and in my freezer before summer is over…it would be too good to miss!

Making this right now — got the mix cooling in a bowl in an ice bath before we put it in the fridge to chill and churn tomorrow. The little bit I tasted from the spoon was fantastic. As a funny coincidence, we’ll be churning and eating it 4 years to the day after you first posted this recipe. Thank you for making 2020 brighter for me and my husband.
