How to Make Blueberries And French Cream Perfect For Valentine's Day

  1. 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.
  2. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens into a syrupy consistency.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in 1 cup fresh blueberries and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint.
  4. (Optional) If using a cinnamon stick or star anise, remove and discard.
  5. Cover and refrigerate the blueberry mixture for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 week).
  6. For the cream: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 envelope (1 tablespoon) unflavored gelatin, 1 cup heavy cream, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  7. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  9. Gradually whisk the hot cream mixture into the sour cream mixture until smooth and well combined.
  10. 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.
  11. Pour the cream mixture into the prepared mold.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the cream is completely set and firm.
  13. To serve: Briefly dip the mold in warm water to loosen the cream. Invert the mold onto a serving plate.
  14. Slice the cream into individual portions using a sharp knife.
  15. Arrange the cream slices on chilled plates. Spoon the blueberry mixture around the cream and garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
