Blueberry pie

Who doesn't love a delicious pie? Blueberry pie is a classic, one that truly showcases the fruit's juiciness and freshness. Start with a simple dough of flour, butter, and sugar. For the filling, combine blueberries with a pinch of lemon zest, sugar, and a little cornstarch for binding. The result? A crispy crust, a melt-in-your-mouth filling, and an aroma that will waft through your kitchen.

Want to make your cake a little more exciting? Try adding almond paste or a dash of vanilla to the dough. Or sprinkle some flaked almonds over the top for a nice crunch.

Panna cotta with blueberry sauce

Panna cotta is a dessert known for its creamy texture and subtle flavor. Add a blueberry sauce, and you have a delicious contrast between creamy and fruity. The soft, smooth texture of panna cotta pairs perfectly with the rich flavor of the blueberries.

To make the sauce, heat blueberries with a little sugar and lemon juice until they release their juiciness. Let this cool, and pour it over the panna cotta just before serving. This not only creates a visual spectacle, but every bite delivers a gentle explosion of flavor.
