Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 pint picked-over blueberries
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup well-chilled heavy cream
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a very small saucepan simmer water and 1 tablespoon sugar until sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute, and in a small bowl toss with blueberries and mint. Chill blueberry mixture, covered, 15 minutes, or until cold. Divide blueberries between 2 Martini glasses.

    Step 2

    In a chilled bowl with an electric mixer beat cream with remaining tablespoon sugar until it just holds stiff peaks and fold in zest. Top blueberries with lemon cream.
