Instructions

1. Prepare the Whipped Cream

1. Whip the Cream:

   • In a large mixing bowl, pour the 500ml (2 cups) of whipped cream. Using a mixer or whisk, whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can turn into butter if mixed for too long.

2. Add Blueberry Jam

1. Fold in the Jam:

   • Gently fold the 170g (2/3 cup) of blueberry jam into the whipped cream using a spatula. Mix until the jam is evenly distributed throughout the cream, creating a smooth, creamy mixture with a light purple hue.

3. Transfer to a Dish

1. Pour and Smooth:

   • Pour the blueberry cream mixture into the prepared dish or container (25 x 18 cm). Use a spatula to smooth the top, creating a level surface. For a decorative touch, you can make swirls or patterns on the top.

4. Freeze

1. Freeze the Ice Cream:

   • Place the dish in the freezer and allow the ice cream to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it is fully set.

5. Serve

1. Scoop and Enjoy:

   • Once the ice cream is frozen, scoop it into bowls or cones. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, homemade blueberry jam ice cream.

Tips for Success

• Use High-Quality Ingredients: Using a high-quality blueberry jam and cream will enhance the flavor and texture of the ice cream.

• Avoid Overmixing: When folding in the blueberry jam, be gentle to maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream.

• Storage: Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
