Ingredients

2 cups blueberries

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar

Pinch of salt

1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1 1/3 cups heavy cream

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Shortbread or wafer cookies, for serving

Directions

  1. Make the blueberry sauce: Heat 1 1/2 cups blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar and the salt in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest and juice; remove from the heat. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
  2. Beat the heavy cream in a bowl with a mixer or whisk until soft peaks just begin to form. Beat in the vanilla and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Gently fold all but 1/3 cup of the blueberry sauce into the whipped cream. Divide among glasses and top with the remaining blueberry sauce. Serve with cookies.

I highly recommend this recipe if you’re looking for an easy, no bake, delicious treat. I did add a bit of water to the blueberries and sugar to start because I was afraid the sugar would burn before the blueberries gave up some of their liquid. And I didn’t measure the lemon juice. I just added to suit my particular taste. In my opinion, the lemon is key. This recipe came together in no time by putting the blueberry mixture in the freezer to cool faster as I was in a hurry to get dessert on the table. Very simple and completely delicious.
