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)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the 300 grams of fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, and lemon juice.
Step 2
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries release their juices and start to break down, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the compote to thicken slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Step 5
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream to stiff peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
To serve, spoon the spiced blueberry fool into individual serving glasses or bowls. Layer with the remaining compote for extra flavor and visual appeal.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh blueberries and mint leaves, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
