Default Trial blueberry ice cream

When we had a blueberry thread a few days ago, I said I really enjoyed
them only in the same mouthful as a piece of plain chocolate, and
wondered if they'd combine to make a good tart. Well, I haven't tried a
tart, but I did make some experimental blueberry and chocolate ice cream
just now. I find it rather dull, so perhaps there's an "official" recipe
out there; but here's what I did in case anybody would like to try it or
improve it.

125g blueberries + 1 soupspoon sugar cooked in microwave oven for a
couple of minutes.
50g plain chocolate, chilled and grated.
250ml whipping cream.

Whizzed the berries and their liquid in liquidiser. Added cream, whizzed
till pretty near rigid. Put into my cheap Kenwood ice-cream maker with
the paddle going; then tipped the chocolate in spoonful by spoonful.
