Looking for a fun way to celebrate the release of Finding Dory into theaters? Whip up this movie-inspired blueberry ice cream recipe with your kids! By now, you know how much I love Disney movies and making Disney inspired treats with my daughter! It is a great bonding activity with my little one as well a learning one! We get to chat while we mix and cook! She gets to learn how to measure ingredients and how to mix. Teaching kids basic cooking skills is so important! You never know when they will need it and I don’t want them to embrace adulthood clueless about cooking and baking! The trick to get kids excited about the kitchen is to find something they can relate too and enjoy!
Since my daughter loves Disney movies (and who doesn’t), I try to come up with Disney themed recipes! For this week’s recipe, we made a Finding Dory inspired recipe. It is a basic blueberry ice cream recipe but we had fun decorating it around the movie! Let’s get this started!

With the release of Finding Dory, I bet all the little ones are going to be begging for an Under the Sea party.

You could even let the kids decorate their own cups for a fun party activity before adding the ice-cream.

Yum — We can’t wait to see the movie! Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday. :)
I know what we are making the next time we go blueberry picking. This looks delicious!
I just love anything that involves Blueberries & my goodness this recipes looks absolutely delicious & mouth watering. I love those creative decorations all around, such a fun idea which kids are going to love right away.
Ha, so cute!! This is a fun way to help cool off. I want to go see Finding Dory too.
Oh wow these are so cute! I’m going to try these – I know my kids would love them!
Oh, what a cute idea! We love to see this movie, I think it is best to spent the movie eating this blueberry ice cream.
Yum! This sounds delish! I don’t get the peaches for ears though. HAHA. Dory doesn’t have ears.:)
I actually freaked out a bit but after a few seconds I realized that it really looks like a fun recipe to make for kids and fans alike! Excited for the actual movie as well, this should tide me over.
That is so fun idea it really looks cute. Glad you share this
Oh yum! I’d love to make some delicious ice cream before seeing the movie. That glass looks so cute.
Oh that looks so good. I love blueberries.
What a fun idea… making food to coordinate with a movie. We make homemade ice cream but so far just vanilla, this sounds way more tastier though.
I can’t wait til Finding Dory comes out! This blueberry ice cream looks delicious and I love that you decorated it to make it Dory themed!
I’ve created homemade ice cream. but none with a Disney theme. It’s a great idea for making any special event even better. A lovely Snow White vanilla ice cream with Queen of Hearts soft jellied topping sounds yummy.
What a deliciously fun recipe idea! This would be a great way to celebrate summer and the release of Finding Dory.
What a great recipe to make for kids, looks yummy! I love that you are able to make it look like Dory too!
What a fun recipe to try with kids, I will have to make this for my kid sometime. It looks fun and neat!
oh my goodness this looks awesome. what a great recipe and the cup? thats adorable. who wouldn’t love that!
Well….I’m looking at the fact that there are blueberries in it – and anytime that there are blueberries…. :)
I can not wait to see this movie! Those blueberry ice cream treats are so cute.
I have never heard of blueberry ice cream before. It sounds so good!
What a fun recipe for the theatre release of Finding Dory. We can’t wait to see Finding Dory, and this snack looks like it would be the perfect accompaniment. Especially since it’s so hot now! Ice cream is great to cool off with.
Oh my gosh these are so cute! My kids can’t wait to see the movie so I know they would love to make these yummy treats!
What a fun treat! My daughter loves to cook with me and she also loves Disney movies, so I’m sure she’d love to make this Finding Dory ice cream!
How cute is this!? And it looks tasty too! My girls are so excited about the new Dory movie. We’ll have to make this ahead of our trip to get them even more excited!
This looks really good I will have to make this for my grandkids when we sit down to watch the movie. I just bought them the finding dory table and chair set from Wal-Mart and they loved it.
Holy cow these are adorable!!! My toddler LOVES “Nemo” so I’m definitely putting this on the list to make when we watch Finding Dory this year! The whole family including us are excited about it – it looks so cute!
I’m as excited as the kids for this one. It looks so aDORYable!
That ice cream looks so good. I love how easy it is to make, and I love the super adorable presentation!
Cute! Now if we can only tell the blue berries to be Dory-colored instead of purple! :) My son would try different foods if we dressed them up like this.
An ice cream maker was one of my favorite purchases. I love making it myself. But this recipe is so super fun! The kids & I will have a blast making it.
What a sweet idea. I think all the little ones would enjoy this treat. Yum. :)
Omg how cute!!!! My daughter would love these. She loves Disney movies as well :)
This is such a cute and refreshing treat for the summertime. I love that it is made with fresh fruit and is themed with Finding Dory.
