Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Rinse and drain the fresh blueberries thoroughly and set them aside to dry.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and whip it with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Add the orange zest, freshly squeezed orange juice, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Gently fold them together with a spatula until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the cream's light and airy texture.
Divide the fresh blueberries evenly into four serving glasses or bowls.
Top each serving with a generous dollop of the orange cream mixture.
Garnish each dessert with a mint leaf, if desired, for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy this simple yet elegant dessert!
