Ingredients

• 300 grams fresh blueberries
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 240 milliliters heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the blueberries. Reserve a small handful (about 50 grams) of blueberries for garnish.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 7–10 minutes or until the blueberries break down and create a thick, syrupy compote.

Step 3

Remove the blueberry compote from heat and set it aside to cool completely to room temperature.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can quickly turn grainy.

Step 6

Once the blueberry compote is cool, gently fold half of it into the whipped cream with a spatula. Swirl the compote in to create a marbled effect, rather than fully mixing.

Step 7

Divide the mixture evenly among four serving glasses or bowls.

Step 8

Drizzle the remaining blueberry compote over each serving and garnish with the reserved fresh blueberries and optional mint leaves.

Step 9

Chill the Blueberry Fool in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
