Man, is it hot. To those deep in winter right now, I’m a tad jealous. To the rest of you, like me, in the heat of summer, I sure hope you’re keeping cool. That blue plastic kiddie pool is looking mighty nice these days. And ice cream sounds divine, doesn’t it?
With a big week coming up, full of cookouts and special parties, I thought of one of our favorite ice cream recipes, Blueberry Pie Ice Cream. I’ve shared it here before, but it bears repeating. It’s super simple. Just perfect for a summer gathering. And it has a secret ingredient.
Yep, graham crackers. They make things real nice.
Plus, you can easily substitute your favorite pie flavor in place of the blueberry to create your own very special creation.
How about cherry? Or peach? Yum! I think I need to go get my churn churning.
And if Blueberry Ice Cream wasn’t good enough, to top it off, I’m giving away one of these Cuisinart 2-Quart 2-Quart Automatic Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet, and Ice Cream Maker to one winner! (A winner has been chosen. See below.)
They’re so easy to use. And you can churn a small batch of your favorite frozen treat in no time.
The winner has been selected. Congratulations to…
#100 Teri Pastorino
Yay Teri! I’ll be contacting you about your new frozen treat maker, so you can get to churning real soon.

I like all flavors of ice cream, but usually buy vanilla, since it can be “dressed up” with all kinds of additions.

My favorite frozen concrete is Apple Pie at Ted Drews and I’ve wanted to try something similar at home! This may do the trick! Thanks Amy!!…….stay cool!
growing up my favorite frozen treat was a fudge swirl ice cream. Now my palate likes caramel and pecans included…more of a turtle type swirl. YUM. But this blueberry looks divine!

I grew up in Vermont, the birth place of Ben & Jerry’s, so I was eating that long before it made its way into the stores! But, one of my very favorite frozen treats is Frozen Custard! There are a couple of local places that make it, and its SOO rich & creamy!! Delish!
