Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a medium mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whisk, as the cream can turn grainy.
Divide the blueberries evenly into four serving dishes or small bowls.
Spoon a generous dollop of the lemon cream over the blueberries in each bowl.

Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, tangy dessert!
