    No-Churn Blue Moon Ice Cream

    This no-churn Blue Moon ice cream is a dreamy blend of lemon, raspberry, and vanilla — shockingly easy to whip up and bursting with nostalgia. It’s cheeky, creamy, and mysteriously fruity.

    If you're from the Midwest, you probably grew up enjoying scoops of Blue Moon at your neighborhood ice cream shop. For those who aren't familiar with it, the Blue Moon flavor is often described as tasting similar to the milk that is left over after eating a bowl of a certain popular fruity breakfast cereal.

    Key Ingredients & Substitutes

    • Sweetened condensed milk – provides sweetness & richness
    • Cold heavy cream – whipped into fluffy peaks
    • Raspberry extract – swap for raspberry syrup or omit if unavailable
    • Lemon extract – fresh lemon zest works too
    • Vanilla extract – classic base flavor
    • Blue gel or liquid food coloring – gel gives bolder color with less dye

    How to Make No-Churn Blue Moon Ice Cream

    With a mixer, beat heavy whipping cream until thick. Next, pour in sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and other extracts and fold in until smooth.
