Blueberry-Lemon Kefir Ice Cream


Kefir Ice Cream Rocks!  No really- it does.  Since the Kefir grains need to be fed fresh milk each day, an abundance of Kefir builds up weekly.  Therefore, a batch of fresh Kefir ice cream is always in order.  Today we experimented with blueberries.

Blueberry-Lemon Kefir Ice Cream
2 cups Kefir
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 Tbsp. Lemon juice or Lemon Zest

Mix eggs & sugar.  Then add Kefir & heavy cream.  Chop fresh or frozen blueberries in food processor.  Then add blueberries to cream, sugar & egg mixture.  Add the lemon juice.  Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for 15 minutes or until thickened to a soft serve consistency.  Eat immediately as a soft serve or place in a freezer safe container and chill until desired hardness.

Tastes delicious!  I imagine it would taste even more amazing using fresh lemon zest/ juice.  Another keeper of an ice cream recipe.  The consistency was perfect, considering our strawberry (fruit) ice cream usually comes out more hard and icy, rather than creamy.
