Description
A refreshing dessert featuring a delicious blueberry filling topped with whipped cream, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and water. Stir gently to combine.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it comes to a boil. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- While the blueberry mixture cools, prepare the whipped cream. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Once the blueberry mixture has cooled, pour it into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
- Top the blueberry filling with the whipped cream, spreading it gently to cover the blueberries completely.
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set properly.
Notes
- For a twist, add a layer of sliced bananas or strawberries beneath the blueberry filling for added flavor and texture.
- Substitute the graham cracker crust with a chocolate cookie crust for a richer taste.
