Description

The simple blueberry compote is made with fresh fruit, though frozen berries could be used as well. The toasted flavor of the graham cracker and hazelnut crust pairs very well with the sweet fruit and creamy ice cream. It is easy to put together and a welcome treat after a long day in the sun.

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Graham Cracker Crumbs (about 8 Graham Crackers)
  • ½ cups Chopped Hazelnuts
  • 6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1-½ cup Fresh Blueberries
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 pints Vanilla Ice Cream, Softened
  • Optional Garnish: Fresh Blueberries

Preparation

For the crust, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In the bowl of a food processor, combine graham crackers and chopped hazelnuts. Pulse until the graham crackers are fine crumbs. Add melted butter and pulse again until the mixture starts to hold together.

Coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray. Press the graham cracker mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of the dish. Bake until the crust is set and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Cool completely.

For the blueberry compote: In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, water and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the blueberries start to pop, about 10 minutes. Cool completely.

The rest: Gently spread 1 pint of softened vanilla ice cream into the bottom of the cooled crust. Spread half of the cooled blueberry mixture over the ice cream. Place in the freezer until the blueberry mixture is set, about 30 minutes. Then remove it from the freezer and spread remaining ice cream over the blueberry layer. Place dollops of the blueberry mixture on top of the ice cream and swirl with a large skewer to create a marbled effect.

Place in the freezer and let set completely, at least 2 hours.

When you are ready to serve: Remove the pie from the freezer and let sit at room temperature until slightly softened, about 10 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.

Oh this just looks SO good. I bought an entire case of blueberries about 3 weeks ago and froze them all so I didn’t lose any. This was our first year buying an entire case and I am SO happy now that we did. The price was very good so it was hard to pass up and in fact, I really wish I had bought two cases and will next year. This recipe is a definite must try soon. Thanks.

This was very easy and very tasty. I cheated and used a ready-made crust, but the filling was creamy and sweet.
