Blueberry Muffin Ice Cream

This is a creative recipe I came up with last Monday, mixing muffins with ice cream to make this sweet and delicious Blueberry Muffin Ice Cream.

Now that it’s summer, there’s no better time to be creative with ice cream recipes. I’ve already shared some of my favorites, like Mamey Ice Cream and of course a copycat of the famous Chick-fil-A Ice Cream. This time, I’ve mixed one of my favorite muffins, blueberry, with ice cream and topped it with raisins. The combination of the sweet muffin flavor and the cold texture of the ice cream is amazing. Even my kid, who isn’t usually a big fan of blueberries, adores it. This recipe will inspire you to create many more delicious ice cream combinations.

I’m thinking of making a Chocolate Muffin Ice Cream next, and I’m excited about trying Cheesecake ice cream soon, which I’ll share next weekend. For now, this Blueberry Muffin Ice Cream is a fun and creative way to enjoy cold, refreshing sweet flavors mixed with your favorite soft muffins.
