Instructions for Cheesecake Ice Cream with Blueberries

Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients

Make sure all ingredients are measured and ready. This will make the process easier and ensure everything runs smoothly.

1. Prepare the Blueberries

Place the blueberries in a small saucepan, add lemon juice and powdered sugar, and simmer over medium heat until soft and a thick sauce forms.

2. Crush the Cookies

Place the butter cookies in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground.

Step 2: Prepare the Mixture

1. Crack the Eggs

Add the eggs to the Thermomix bowl and beat at speed 4 for 2 minutes.

Add sugar and cream cheese to the eggs and mix at speed 3 for 1 minute until the mixture is creamy.
