Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (300 grams) fresh blueberries
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons (15 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse 2 cups (300 grams) of fresh blueberries under cold water and gently pat dry with a paper towel. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon (7 grams) of powdered sugar over the berries. If using lemon zest, add 1 teaspoon now. Toss gently to coat evenly without bruising the berries. Set aside.
- Place mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge to chill for 10 minutes (optional but recommended).
- Pour 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Add 1 tablespoon (7 grams) powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whip with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to overbeat.
- Spoon a generous dollop of whipped cream over the blueberry mixture or gently fold the cream into the berries for a creamier texture. Serve immediately.
Notes
Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better volume. Stop whipping at soft peaks to avoid turning cream into butter. Use fresh blueberries for best texture. For dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream. You can prepare blueberries with sugar and zest up to 1 hour ahead and whip cream fresh before serving.
