Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
INGREDIENTS
1⁄2 cup sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1⁄2 cup water
1 1⁄4 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 1⁄4 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tbsp sugar
1⁄2 tsp ground cinnamon
1⁄2 cup butter, melted
1 1⁄2 cups sugar
1 pkg (3.4 oz) instant cheesecake or vanilla
pudding mix
1 qt heavy whipping cream
2 cups milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir in water until smooth. Stir in blueberries and lemon juice. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, sugar and cinnamon. Stir in butter. Pat into an ungreased 10x15x1 baking pan. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack.
In a large bowl, whisk together the ice cream ingredients. Pour into ice cream freezer and freeze according to instructions. Refrigerate remaining mixture until ready to freeze. Whisk before adding to ice cream freezer (mixture will have some lumps).
Combine the graham cracker mixture. In a large container layer the ice cream, graham cracker mixture and blueberry sauce three times. Swirl; place in freezer to harden.
