Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of blueberries with ½ cup of sugar. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring gently until thickened. Remove from heat, cool to room temperature, and chill.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together 8 oz of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar until smooth. Gradually add in 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Pour the chilled ice cream base into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions for 20-25 minutes until soft-serve consistency.
  4. In a freezer-safe container, layer half of the ice cream base, half of the blueberry sauce, and a layer of crushed graham crackers. Repeat layers.
  5. Cover and freeze for 2-3 hours until firm but scoopable. Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
