Ingredients:
– 2 cups blueberries
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Wash the blueberries and set them aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
3. Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the cream from scorching.
4. Remove the cream mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool for a few minutes.
5. In a separate bowl, mash the blueberries with a fork or a potato masher. You want them to be slightly chunky, so don’t over-mash them.
6. Add the mashed blueberries to the cream mixture and stir gently to combine.
7. Pour the cream into a glass or ceramic dish and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
8. Serve the blueberry cream cold, garnished with fresh blueberries or mint leaves.
Tips for Success:
– Make sure you use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor.
– If you prefer a smoother texture, you can puree the blueberries in a blender or food processor before adding them to the cream mixture.
– Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cream mixture for extra flavor.
– You can also experiment with different berries, such as raspberries or strawberries, for a variation on the recipe.
