  I have a kitchen-aid ice cream churner. It requires 15 hrs to 24 hours of freeze time. Make sure this is done ahead of time. Otherwise use your ice cream makers detailed instructions, and churn according to manufacturer's directions.

  I noticed anything after 20 mins of churning will make "soft served ice cream" I churned mine for 10-12 mins before transferring. Transfer churned ice cream to a freezer safe container. Cover and freeze until solid. I used a glass container with a snap lock lid, worked very well. ***You can add a few whole blueberries for texture if you'd like*** Enjoy!!!
