Coconut Blueberry Pie Ice Cream

Sometimes I dream about opening a bakery. I like thinking about the treats that I will offer, how the place is going to look like, who’s going to write on the chalkboard menu. I always talk to my friend Val about it. One of my favorite dream concepts is opening a bakery that serves only coconut themed desserts. I love coconut and I already have plenty of dessert recipes in my arsenal.

Coconut Cheesecake. Coconut Chia Pudding. Coconut Mango Cashew Chocolate Bark. Double Coconut and Cherry Granola. Mango Coconut Bread. Salted Dulce de Leche Coconut Macaroons.

And now I am adding this Coconut Blueberry Pie Ice Cream to my dream bakery menu.

This ice cream is insanely delicious. It tastes exactly like how it sounds: blueberry pie, coconut cream pie, and ice cream in one. Dense, creamy, sweet coconut ice cream with swirls of blueberry compote and graham cracker crumbs. It reminds me of No Bake Cheesecake because of the consistency and the cooked berries, but it has more texture because of the shredded coconut.

And best of all? It’s a no-churn recipe, no ice cream maker needed!

When I first tried this method of making ice cream to make Tres Leches ice cream, I was blown away. Who knew I could easily whip up ice cream at home without needing an ice cream maker? The secret is whipped cream and condensed milk. More magic comes from coconut milk, coconut flakes, and generous swirls of “pie crust” and “pie filling.”

Unlike opening an actual bakery, this one is super easy. And like the other treats in that dream, this one is super delicious.

Now who’s gonna help me name the bakery?
