Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh blueberries
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 50 grams fresh blueberries (for garnish)
- 5 leaves mint leaves (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the 300 grams of fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries release their juices and start to break down, about 5-7 minutes.
Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the compote to thicken slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream to stiff peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.
Once the blueberry compote has cooled, gently fold 2/3 of the compote into the whipped cream. Use a spatula and fold just enough to create a marbled effect.
To serve, spoon the spiced blueberry fool into individual serving glasses or bowls. Layer with the remaining compote for extra flavor and visual appeal.
Garnish with fresh blueberries and mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
