Cup of Yum
Blueberries
- Add the frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup of water, sugar, and lemon juice to a small saucepan and stir, bringing blueberries to a boil.
- Once blueberries begin to boil, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 TBSP water in a small bowl. Then add to the blueberries and stir constantly until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the fresh blueberries.
Whipped Cream
- In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Cut or pull apart biscuits so you have at op and bottom. Place the bottom biscuits on a plate or a bowl and top with blueberries and whipped cream. Then place the biscut top over the filling.
Notes
- You can substitute pre-made blueberry pie filling for these shortcakes to save on prep time.
- Adding fresh blueberries to the blueberry mixture after cooking gives more texture to the filling, but you can leave them out if desired.
