Blueberry Ice Cream is such wonderful cool treat for the Summer. This dairy free 3 ingredient no machine required (no churn) recipe is so simple with only 5 minutes of work, simply let your freezer do the rest. In addition to the ease of making, the ice cream is vegan, soy free, gluten free and peanut free.
Ahh, Summer… If it’s hot (and it always is in WI), chances are you’ll be eating ice cream at some point. If you haven’t noticed, we’re a bit obsessed with anything blueberry lately. I just posted the blueberry danishes but have blueberry oatmeal popsicles, orange blueberry muffins and blueberry teff waffle recipes. Why not blueberry ice cream too? Blueberries are such an easy frozen fruit be stocked in the freezer at all times.
More often than not, I’m not baking with them but add them into smoothies… always a pleaser with kids. Annnd the best part of smoothies is sneaking in some extra veggies. I managed to hide an entire zucchini in a breakfast smoothie since the deep blueberry color hid all the evidence. <— insert evil mommy laugh here 😀
Another thing with blueberries are the antioxidants they contain. I swear I recover from running much faster after eating bowl of these. For me it seems to help with inflammation. I’m not sure if this is really true but antioxidantshave been proven to make difference with cells and free radicals produced from eating, being in the sun, natural radiation etc… (yeah… I think about a lot of things) 🙂
But there isn’t too much thinking involved with this no churn ice cream. Just pile it all into the blender and mix until smooth, set it in the freezer and forget about it until the next day. 5 minutes for a great treat!
- 3 cups (2 bag) frozen organic blueberries
- 2 can coconut cream (not milk)
- 4 Tbsp maple syrup
- Blend all ingredients to a high speed blender or food processor until smooth.
- Pour into a baking loaf pan and freeze overnight.

Oh sneaking veggies into smoothies is the greatest trick ever! My niece even go and grabs the spinach for her smoothies yet she is pickiest eater! And I actually just got done drinking my protein iced coffee….I blend iced coffee, almond milk, protein powder and frozen spinach cubes! Can’t even taste it 😉
And this ice cream? Right up my alley! Love me some fresh fruit ice cream during these hot days!

Quick Questions:
1. When you say to use “coconut cream” do you use the entire can or skim off the cream part after refrigeration? I have never made ice cream using coconut cream… yet 😉 … and I was just wondering. Other recipes I read said to refrigerate the cans and skim off the top cream part.
2. Can you use fresh blueberries or do they need to be frozen to help with the consistency?
Thanks so much!
Laura says
There are cans made with just pure coconut cream available at Trader Joes and Ethic stores. The regular coconut MILK needs to be cold in order to scoop out the fat from the watery milk. I’ve only used frozen blueberries for this recipe. The fresh would work but I think frozen is better to help it chill faster. Hope that helps!
Lily says
Hi. How many ounces are in the cans of coconut cream? Thanks.
Vivian says
I just made this and am freezing it overnight. I am on a strict diet with no refined sugar + no dairy and need my sweets fix for summer!! So far, it tastes amazing and I can’t stop nibbling at it! Can’t wait for the results tomorrow. Thanks for putting up this recipe! On a side note, I thought the coconut cream was hard for my processor to blend (I had to keep scraping it) so it is probably better to use a stronger blender.
Sandi (@fearless_dining) says
This recipe looks incredible. I am going to hunt down fresh blueberries at our farmer’s market tomorrow 🙂
