Ingredients for Baked Blueberries

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar

How to Make Baked Blueberries

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. Spoon 1 cup of fresh blueberries into four (4), 4-ounce oven-safe ramekins.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup sour cream and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.
  4. Spoon the sour cream mixture evenly over the blueberries in each ramekin.
  5. Generously sprinkle 1 to 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar over the sour cream, ensuring the blueberries are fully coated.
  6. Broil for 3-4 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning. The brown sugar should melt and caramelize into a beautiful, golden crust.
  7. Remove from broiler and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or cold!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
