Speed ice cream


So, I hate waiting for literally 24 hours to eat delicious ice cream. This made me decide to read seventy million cooking blogs and figure out how to make a custard taste of ice cream without having to actually make custard. I'm a genius, I know. And also very humble. So here is a blueberry ice cream recipe. Apparently blueberries have had one hell of a season because they are practically handing them away like zucchini at the store.

Without further bullshit, here you are:
You need-
2 cups blueberries
2 cups half and half
1 can sweetened condensed milk (it should be 14oz)
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp. vanilla

So, get out your "vintage" blender and blend up those blueberries.
Set them aside. Combine all other ingredients in a bowl and whisk them together. Pour this mixture into the ice cream maker.
Sit on the couch and begin writing your blog entry about this and do the dishes that you just got dirty.
Now would also be a good time to put on some music, maybe sit on the balcony for a bit. It takes my ice cream maker about 25 minutes to get to the consistency of soft serve, which is what you're going for. 
Once you are at soft serve status, pour in the blueberry purée. 
You'll need a spatula to get it out of the blender, and it will take a good 5 minutes to look like you actually added it, but be patient because you get to eat this ice cream today!the blueberries are going to make the ice cream soupy again, so let your ice cream maker do its thing and go change your sheets.
Look at you go! Made your bed and now you can sit in it and eat ice cream!
