How to Make Blueberries And French Cream Perfect For Valentine's Day
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 pint (2 cups) fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1/4 cup red wine.
- Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens into a syrupy consistency.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in 1 cup fresh blueberries and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint.
- (Optional) If using a cinnamon stick or star anise, remove and discard.
- Cover and refrigerate the blueberry mixture for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 week).
- For the cream: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 envelope (1 tablespoon) unflavored gelatin, 1 cup heavy cream, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- Gradually whisk the hot cream mixture into the sour cream mixture until smooth and well combined.
- Rinse a 2 1/2-cup heart-shaped mold (or any mold of your choice) with cold water. Shake out excess water, but do not dry.
- Pour the cream mixture into the prepared mold.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the cream is completely set and firm.
- To serve: Briefly dip the mold in warm water to loosen the cream. Invert the mold onto a serving plate.
- Slice the cream into individual portions using a sharp knife.
- Arrange the cream slices on chilled plates. Spoon the blueberry mixture around the cream and garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
