Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries

- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

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.

Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, tangy dessert!
