Ingredients

Method

1.In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar and lemon juice. Cook on medium, stirring and pressing gently with a spoon until berries burst and release juices.
2.Bring to the boil, then simmer for 25-30 minutes until mixture starts to thicken – mixture will thicken more on cooling. Remove pan from heat, pour into a bowl and chill mixture until required.
3.Line a 6-cup (10 x 20cm) loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving sides to overhang. In a food processor, blend cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla and lemon zest until smooth. Add cream, then process until thick and fluffy.
4.Transfer half the cream- cheese mixture to pan. Pour over blueberry mixture. Spread with remaining cream-cheese mixture. Cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4-5 hours until firm.
5.Remove ice cream from pan by lifting out using excess plastic wrap. Cut into thick slices to serve.

Remove ice cream from the freezer about 5 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly. Serve with extra fresh berries if desired.
