Ingredients:
- 2 cups (300g) fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp (2g) lemon zest
- 3 large (150g) egg yolks
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 1 pinch (1g) salt
- 1/2 cup (75g) fresh blueberries
- 2 tbsp (30g) sliced almonds
Instructions:
- Combine 300g blueberries, 50g sugar, lemon juice, and zest in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally for 8–10 minutes until berries burst and liquid thickens into a glossy syrup. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and 100g sugar until the mixture becomes pale yellow and thick. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- In a separate chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the air.
- Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
- Pour one-third of the cream mixture into the pan. Dollop 3–4 tablespoons of the cooled blueberry reduction over the layer. Repeat with another layer of cream and more blueberry sauce.
- Freeze for 6 hours until set. Garnish with fresh blueberries and sliced almonds before serving.
