How to Make No Churn Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
Here are the step by step instructions to make this ice cream!
Step 1: Heat the Butter
In a small bowl, heat butter in microwave in 20 second increments until melted.
Step 2: Pour in the Graham Crackers
Pour crushed graham’s into melted butter and mix using a spatula. Once combined, pop this in the fridge.
Step 3: Beat the Cream Cheese and Add the Milk, Sugar, Vanilla and Salt
In a large bowl of an electric mixer or using a hand held mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in the sweetened condensed milk, the light brown sugar, the vanilla and salt. Beat until all combined.
Step 4: Beat the Heavy Cream
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Using a spatula, add in the cream cheese mixture and beat until stiff peaks form.
Step 5: Pour in Half and Add Blueberry Compote
Pour ⅓ of the mixture into the bottom of a 9 X 5 loaf pan. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of blueberry compote on top and then a layer ⅓ of the Graham crumbs. Take a butter knife to make swirls. Repeat this 3 step process 3 times.
Wrap the pan in plastic wrap and then foil and freeze overnight.
Expert Baking Tips
- Use Homemade Blueberry Compote- To make the compote, use my Blueberry Jam recipe. The only difference is don’t mash the blueberries, cook on medium high for 10 min and then on low for an additional 5 min. Stirring frequently. Then cool.
- Use Cold Cream Cheese- You don’t want to use softened because it will make the ice cream more difficult to solidify. Beat the cold cream cheese until it is smooth...about 2-3 minutes.
Storing and Freezing
Storing
Store the Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream in a 9x 5 loaf pan or in an airtight ice cream container. I love these.
If using a loaf pan, cover the top with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil.
Freezing
The ice cream can be frozen for up to two weeks.
And that’s it, guys! The most gorgeous and delicious no churn ice cream that’s sure to wow anyone you serve it to! Enjoy!

So I am trying to duplicate the most incredible Blueberry Cheesecake Ice cream that I get from a homemade ice cream store near me…the graham cracker swirl is SO delicious, but it is like pockets of soft sandy graham cracker swirl. Will the graham cracker swirl in this recipe end up with that texture? And how am I able to make this recipe using a Kitchenaid Ice cream maker?
Thank you!!!! I’ve scoured every corner of the internet and tried every single recipe out there and none of them come close 😞

Hi Emma! I have to say that this is one of my favorite ice cream recipes that I make...I really love the flavor combo of this one! However, this recipe is specifically meant to be no churn. It would be a completely different recipe with the machine. I do have a blueberry ice cream recipe with a machine on the blog as well but not the cheesecake one. This one is so so simple because no machine is used and the ice cream is so creamy and smooth! I really hope you'll love it!

Should the butter be salted or unsalted?
Lee
Hi Michelle! Unsalted butter! xox
John
