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

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
