I started out looking for some blueberry recipes as our bush was covered in almost ripe berries. Then sadly a bird or something ate most of them so I had to go out and buy some instead, gggrrrr!
This mousse is very versatile but, more importantly, simple!
Ingredients
100g blueberries
1 tablespoon white caster sugar
1 tablespoon water
100g white chocolate
300ml double cream
2 tablespoons icing sugar
Version 1:
Heat the blueberries in a small pan with the caster sugar and water.
Simmer for 10 minutes until soft. Set aside to cool.
Melt the chocolate in a microwave or over a pan of hot water.
Whisk the cream until it forms soft peaks.
Stir the melted chocolate, icing sugar and blueberries into the cream.
You can leave a swirl effect or fully combine.
Chill for a minimum of an hour before serving.
Version 2:
Follow steps above but do not add the blueberries into the cream.
Instead, dish up the cream mix and add the blueberry compote on top.
Chill for a minimum of an hour.
Verison 3:
As version 2 but put the compote at the bottom of the ramekins and dish the mousse on top.
Chill for an hour.
Version 4:
If you prefer fresh blueberries and you don’t have fussy kids who hate lumpy food simply stir the raw berries into the mousse mixture and chill.
Version 5:
This recipe would also work well if you substituted blackberries or raspberries for the compote.
If you have any blueberries left over then try making little blueberry cakes.
