This is the best ice cream I've ever made! I've made it with both strawberries and black raspberries. Both with extremely satisfying results. I did strain the sauce when I used the black raspberries. This is a keeper.

My family loves this recipe! I've also tried it with raspberries and strawberries with equal success. Thank you for this recipe!!

I've been making this recipe for years now. One thing I prefer is to strain the blueberry mixture after removing it from heat to remove the blueberry skins. I find the skins have an icy taste when frozen that takes away from the smoothness of the ice cream. Don't waste the skin remnants though. Makes a great peanut butter and jelly sandwich!

Absolutely delicious ice cream!! I made this for our church's Ice Cream Sunday last week except I substituted strawberries for the blueberries. Everyone loved it and it was a BIG hit!

The recipe is so easy to make, and the ice cream turns out SO creamy! I've never seen such smooth, creamy homemade ice cream before! I'll definitely be making this again!!

This recipe came out fantastic. I have a 1 1/2 qt ice cream maker, so i halved the recipe and used frozen raspberries and blackberries instead of blueberries. It tasted amazing!

Why give a recipe one star simply because it goes against your personal health rules?  Don't make it if you don't want to, but don't bash it, either.  Just move on to one you think is healthier.

You definitely got this just right! I am using this ice cream recipe for all of my ice cream...it is FABULOUS even before the graham crackers & blueberries!!!!!

A big hit with my son-in-law who is very picky about desserts! The whole family wants me to make it again. Outstanding!

My family and I greatly enjoyed this homemade ice cream! It was easy to make and VERY well liked. The ice cream reamained soft and creamy ( not icy and rock hard like some homemade ice cream) even after it had been in the freezer a long time.

Note- We did use the cheesecake pudding, which really did make the ice cream taste like cheesecake! Also, try using an old gallon size ice cream pail to store the ice cream in-it works very nicely.

Was very easy to make and everyone enjoyed the smooth taste of the homemade ice cream. It is a wonderful indulgence food to have on hand.

I have not made this yet but I am going to get an ice cream maker now! This sounds wonderful and my sensei, a totally fit, into good nutrition, 7th degree blackbelt told me a life and a diet without indulgences leads more people astray than the occasional wonderful rich indulgence, in food or any other aspect of life, so I will use this to keep me on the path to fit.

Ice cream sounds delicious, but my maker is only 1 1/2 quarts. Anyone successfully halve this recipe? donna.wirth--this is a review section, not an opinion section.

Although this recipe looks very delicious, i would not make this recipe simply for the fact that there are over 400 calories for only 1/2 cup of icecream and over 30 grams of fat. I could not serve this to my family. i know there are healthier alternatives out there when wanting to serve your family a nice summer desert.

I cut out this recipe years ago from the magazine and finally just got the chance to try it. Well worth the wait. The flavor was awesome and the whole family loved it! Really delicious!

I have been making this recipe for a few years, so I thought it was time to give credit to the cook. This is an awesome recipe, very easy to make. It's one that I get so many compliments on when I take it to share with others. I pretty much make it as is, except I only make a 1/2 batch of the graham cracker layer as that's a personal preference. I also put away a small container of just the vanilla ice cream part so our son can have his chocolate syrup on it. Overall this is a wonderful summer treat! I've only made it with fresh blueberries. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.

This is the best home made ice cream I've ever had. It's very smooth and creamy.

This ice cream rocks!! It has fabulous cheesecake flavor, and the graham and blueberry just gives the perfect accent! Another thing I really love is that the texture is very creamy, not icy like some recipes are! Definitely give this a try!!

Not a big fan of blueberries, but this is THE best ice cream I've made! I'm thinking next time of doubling the recipe and doing half with strawberries. Definitely a keeper!

This is one of the best ice cream recipes ever! I highly recommend it.

This is absolutely the must- have ice cream recipe. I've served this ice cream at family gatherings and everybody raves; in fact, have to make a double batch. The only change I made was exchanging nutmeg for the cinnamon (allergies). If you don't like blueberries, you can substitute it for peaches (frozen).
