Ann, I went downstairs this morning to taste it again. But, it was "rock solid" from the freezer.
My suggestion would be to make enough for only when your ready to eat it. Like, for dessert after a dinner party. Or, just, dessert, period!
I'm sure if I let it "sit out" for a while it will turn soft again soon enough.
The frozen, "365" brand blueberries I buy at Wholefood's are, the BEST, in my opinion.
Their blueberry flavor is intensely, blueberry and very sweet!
Today, blueberries. Tomorrow, strawberries!

Thanks for the recipe. I am going to try this!

Can you get Wyman's blueberries down your way? They have them in Costco up here in NY. They are from Maine and are the small, really flavorful berries. Give them a try if you find them.

Thanks again!

nice and simple. I make similar ones with frozen peaches, strawberries, or mix berries. I never added splenda though, usually a bit of maple syrup or honey.

That sounds absolutely divine!!! A recipe I can certainly do...

It took me all of 15-20 minutes from start of prep to the first spoon in my mouth.

I just wanted to share my delicious, blueberry food processor ice cream "experiment".
So simple and quick!
1. In my processor, I emptied a 16 oz. bag of frozen blueberrys. I like Wholefood's "365" brand.
2. A 14oz. bottle of (very cold) half & half (of course, use heavy cream if you like).
3. A half cup of Splenda. Actually, I think a third of a cup could be fine.
4. About a third of a cup of dry non fat milk (I keep it in my fridge)

I turned the processor on high speed for about 3-5 minutes. And, voila! Fabulous, intensely flavored blueberry ice cream! The finished product is like soft serve. However, after putting the ice cream in a nice container and then putting it in the freezer for a few hours, it will be more like conventional ice cream in consistency. It came out to be about a quart in volume.

Ya'll have got to try this recipe!
