Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 2 cups (280 grams) fresh blueberries
Dairy:
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) whole milk
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 1/4 cups (250 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ripe blueberries with granulated sugar and fresh lemon juice, allowing the fruit to macerate for half an hour. This process helps release natural berry juices and create a vibrant, syrupy consistency.
- Prepare the cream base by whisking together rich heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, pure vanilla extract, and a delicate pinch of salt until the mixture becomes smooth and develops a velvety texture.
- Carefully integrate the macerated blueberries into the cream mixture, gently folding to ensure even distribution without crushing the berries. The goal is to create a marbled effect with bursts of berry color throughout.
- Transfer the blended mixture to a chilled container and refrigerate for a minimum of 60 minutes. This resting period allows flavors to meld and the dessert to achieve an optimal cool, creamy consistency.
- Before serving, give the dessert a gentle stir to redistribute the blueberry essence. Garnish with fresh whole blueberries or a light dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Choose ripe, plump blueberries for maximum flavor and natural sweetness in the dessert.
- Adjust sugar levels based on the blueberries’ natural sweetness to prevent overpowering the delicate fruit taste.
- Experiment with alternative milk options like almond or coconut milk for a dairy-free version that maintains creamy texture.
- Consider adding a sprinkle of toasted almonds or granola on top for extra crunch and nutritional boost.
