I hate to even utter the words that the best flavor was saved for the last day. All ice cream is, well, hello – ICE CREAM! But I have to admit this blueberry crumble pie ice cream is special. For some reason, I don’t make blueberry pie a lot, but I really should change this. I love when an ice cream not only has amazing flavor but also varying textures that remind you of other delicious treats. This ice cream answers all of your pie cravings… and more!
I mean, with those swirls of blueberry and bits of homemade streusel, doesn’t this just look amazing? I don’t usually gush about my own recipes, but this one turned out too well not to be excited about it.

- Once frozen, fold in the prepared blueberry jam and streusel topping. Dip into airtight container and place in deep freeze an additional 4-6 hours until hardened.
