Ingredients
- Nectarines
- 4 cups, pitted and chopped
- Blueberries
- 2 cups, fresh or frozen
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup
- Whole milk
- 1 cup
- Heavy cream
- 2 cups
- Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon, freshly squeezed
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped nectarines and blueberries. Puree until smooth, ensuring there are no large chunks.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the fruit puree, granulated sugar, heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-30 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container, smoothing the top. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Scoop and serve the nectarines and blueberry ice cream in bowls or cones. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh blueberries or sliced nectarines before enjoying!
Tips
- For added texture, consider folding in some chopped nuts or dark chocolate chunks after churning.
- You can substitute the nectarines with peaches if you prefer, as they provide a similar sweetness.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and stir every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours until firm.
