How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
As with Easy Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, the process is ridiculously easy. It makes it even easier, i you have an ice cream maker. I really recommend you to invest in one, because it counldn't be more worth these 30$! It's been a life saver for me this summer.

Transfer into a bowl of your ice cream maker and start the churning (make sure you froze the bowl of your ice cream maker for at least 8 hours in advance or as per instructions).
