Blueberry Cheesecake Gelato
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 1/4 cups blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 4 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Combine sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan; gradually stir in water until the mixture forms a uniform paste. Combine sugar and cornstarch with water, stirring constantly to eliminate lumps. Stir in blueberries and lemon juice; bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce has thickened slightly, around 5 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, approximately 30 minutes.
2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
3
Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl; stir in melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into an ungreased 10x15-inch baking pan.
4
Bake the crust in a preheated oven until it is lightly browned, taking 10 to 15 minutes. Allow the crust to cool completely on a wire rack before crumbling it into smaller pieces.
5
Whisk together cream, milk, 1 1/2 cups sugar, pudding mix, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Fill an ice cream freezer cylinder two-thirds full with the mixture. Freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions; refrigerate the remaining mixture until you are ready to freeze it. Whisk the remaining mixture before placing it in the cylinder to eliminate any lumps that may have formed.
6
Layer ice cream, graham cracker mixture, and blueberry sauce three times in a large bowl; use a spatula to swirl the ingredients together. Freeze until you are ready to serve.
