Ingredients
- 9 oz blueberries
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 egg yolks (medium)
- 1 1/4 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup butter
Tools
- Immersion Blender
- Pitcher
- Strainer / Colander
- Bowl
- Small Pot
Steps
Quickly rinse the blueberries under running water. Drain them and place them in a pitcher. Use the immersion blender to puree them. No need to add liquids. Strain the puree through a colander to get a seedless liquid.
Place the egg yolks with sugar in a bowl and whisk. Add the cornstarch (be careful not to form lumps, so sift it) and the strained puree. Add the juice of half a lemon and mix.
Pour everything into a saucepan, add the butter in pieces, and bring to a light boil. Stir continuously until the blueberry cream thickens. Pour into a wet bowl and let cool covered with cling film in contact to avoid skin formation. Use the Blueberry Cream for pie and tartlet fillings.
