Blueberry-Basil Icecream

Blueberries everywhere! I'm still using up all those blueberries in the freezer. I decided to remake this combo I tried last summer with my friend Sam. I really love it. I used a heavier cream in this instead of the Half and Half that the recipe calls for, and it came out extra creamy in texture. I'm sure if you stuck with the recipe as presented it would come out just as tasty... I just used what was available in the store... The Basil is an add on of mine, it just seemed like a natural pairing with these berries.
