I only happened to have lowfat milk on hand — use whole milk, half-and-half, or even cream if you like. Or omit the milk altogether and use an entire can of coconut milk.

I love the taste of cardamom with blueberries. I’m not quite sure how it works out that the two tastes compliment each other so well, but somehow just a little smidge of cardamom brings the blueberries to life.

Coconut-Blueberry Ice Cream

  • Half can of coconut milk
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten well
  • 2 1/2 – 3 cups of wild blueberries (the small, low-bush kind are preferable)
  • Ground cardamom, a little bit (maybe 1/4 tsp)
  • Ground ginger, a little bit (maybe 1/2 tsp)
  • Vanilla extract, a little bit (maybe 1/2 tsp)

Combine everything and freeze in an ice cream maker for about 15-20 minutes. Feed immediately to your wife, who insists that the blueberries make up for not having any vegetables with dinner.
