Easy Blueberry Ice Cream Topping

by Stacey Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
the perfect bite - one spoonful of vanilla ice cream with blueberry, orange zest & honey topping

It's getting hot here in New England. Not crazy hot just yet, but hot enough that I want ice cream. That's how I know summer is really coming. There is a burst of heat for 2-3 days and it feels too early to turn on the air conditioner, but somehow, I'm dripping in sweat and have to turn on the air conditioner. This is when I start craving vanilla ice cream with a very easy blueberry ice cream topping I'm sharing with you today.

This elegant blueberry ice cream topping makes for an effortless dessert

There isn't much to it in terms of preparation, but believe me, this topping will be remembered. You can serve this on top of scoops of vanilla ice cream, but you can also mix it in with your morning yogurt. I was a private chef years ago. My clients loved to serve this after their dinner parties in the summer. It would alternate between fresh pies from the local farm or vanilla ice cream with this blueberry topping. It was always a crowd pleaser and it's so easy to make.

Local honey from Land's Sake Farm really makes a difference!

I really love a good, local honey and if you start looking around, I think you'll find one you didn't know about. That's how I found Land's Sake Farm Honey. We were our going for a drive on a sunny afternoon and their farm stand was open. I saw the jars of honey and knew I wanted to try it. It is the best honey I've ever had. I am not being paid to say this and I have no deal with this farm. I just love their honey!
