Homemade Blueberry-Lavender Ice Cream

Five ingredients and five minutes—that’s all it takes to prep this healthy homemade ice cream recipe!

The flavor of lavender is becoming increasingly popular in desserts, but I have found that many of them don’t even contain real lavender! They instead rely on artificial ingredients and coloring.

But not this ice cream—or should I say “nice” cream?

Blueberries give this blend a lovely purple/blue hue, while pure Lavender essential oil adds an extra dimension of flavor and sophistication.

This delicious, plant-based, and waistline friendly, dessert is the perfect finish to a backyard party or just a hot summer day.
