Blueberry Cream Cheese Ice Cream

I LOVE homemade ice cream and came across this recipe and really liked it! I know it sounds kind of funky, but you just have to try it!

3 cups blueberries
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup water
2 cups sugar
6oz cream cheese (I used light)
4 egg yolks
3 cups milk
1 cup cream

Combine berries, powdered sugar, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Cool. Beat sugar, cream cheese, and egg yolks until smooth. Bring milk and cream to a boil. Very slowly add the hot milk to the cream cheese mixture. (Don't just dump the cream cheese mixture into the hot milk or the eggs will cook. Yuck!) Then return to the pan and continue cooking and stirring till the mixture barely starts to simmer. Cool. You can put your pan in a sink filled with ice water to speed up the cooling process. Add the blueberry mixture to the ice cream and chill for several hours or overnight. Freeze in ice cream freezer according to manufacturer's instructions. Let ripen in freezer for at least three hours.
