Instructions
Step 1
Start by cooking the blueberries in a saucepan with 50 grams (about 1.75 ounces) of water over medium heat. Let the berries simmer until they have turned into a smooth purée.
While the berries are cooking, mix 4 grams of pectin X58 with the sugar and ground vanilla. Once the blueberries are ready, sprinkle the pectin mixture gradually into the pot while stirring constantly. This will prevent any lumps from forming.
Keep stirring and allow the mixture to cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until it thickens.
Step 2
If you choose to make the creamy component, melt 50 grams (about 1.75 ounces) of white chocolate in a microwave or double boiler.
Add the melted chocolate to the blueberry confit at the end of the cooking process, stirring well to combine. The texture of this cream will be exquisite.
Step 3
Once the confit is ready, pour the mixture into molds or any suitable container. Freeze the confit for a few hours until solid.
Once frozen, you can enjoy this delicious blueberry filling in a variety of desserts. It works beautifully as a topping or can be incorporated into other dishes.

Variations
🌱 Want to make your blueberry confit and crémeux gluten-free and vegan? It’s easier than you think! Simply swap out any dairy ingredients for plant-based options. Use coconut cream instead of regular cream for the crémeux to achieve a rich, creamy texture without the dairy.
Don't forget! Ensure your chocolate is vegan when adding it at the end! 🍫💚
🥳 You can also opt for alternative sweeteners like maple syrup or agave to keep it healthy and delicious. Just adjust the amounts according to your taste preference. This way, you can enjoy the same mouthwatering experience while keeping it aligned with your dietary needs! 🎉🥤
Faq
- Can I substitute pectin with gelatin?
Yes! You can use gelatin as a thickener, but keep in mind that you will need to adjust the amount and the process slightly since gelatin requires different handling.
- How do I know if my confit is thick enough?
The confit should have a rich, syrupy consistency when cooked down. If you’re unsure, you can put a small amount on a cold plate and check if it holds its shape once cooled.
- What if I don’t have fresh blueberries?
Frozen blueberries work perfectly! Just make sure to thaw and drain them before using to avoid excess liquid.
- Can I add spices or herbs to the confit?
Absolutely! A hint of lemon zest or fresh mint can brighten the flavor even more. Experiment to find your favorite twists!
- What should I do if my confit is too sweet?
To balance the sweetness, consider adding a splash of lemon juice to cut through the sweetness, giving it a fresh kick!
- How long can I store this confit?
When stored in the freezer, it can last for several months. Just make sure to keep it airtight!
