Blues-Busting Blueberry Ice CreamRick McKee

Blend and freeze four ingredients and, minutes later, you've got this creamy, frozen confection of plump, purple blueberries and cream. This egg-free version of ice cream demands the sweetest gems of summer for maximum flavor and color. Don't expect this to last too long. You'll be making your next batch before you know it. Rinse the berries just before using, no sooner.

Note:

This can also be frozen in a container in the freezer and stirred every 15 minutes.
