Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Blueberry Cream

Start by whipping the heavy cream in a chilled mixing bowl until you achieve stiff peaks. It's crucial that all ingredients are cold, so consider placing the mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for 10-15 minutes beforehand.

Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition to maintain a smooth consistency.

Next, fold in the cream cheese along with the vanilla extract, increasing the mixer speed gently to incorporate. Be careful not to overwhip!

Finally, add in the freeze-dried blueberry powder (1-3 teaspoons depending on your desired color and flavor) and mix gently until just combined.

Step 2

Assemble the Dessert

Using a pastry bag, transfer the blueberry cream into the bag for easy layering.

In serving glasses, start by layering the granola, followed by a layer of blueberry cream, and then a layer of yogurt mixed with powdered sugar (to taste). Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the glass.

For a finishing touch, sprinkle chia seeds on top before serving.

Faq

  • How can I tell if my whipped cream is at the right consistency?

    The cream should hold stiff peaks, meaning when you pull the whisk out, the peak stands straight up without drooping. Just be careful not to over-whip!

  • Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

    Absolutely! You can prepare the layers a few hours in advance and assemble right before serving to keep the granola crunchy.

  • What can I substitute for the powdered sugar if I want a healthier option?

    You can use coconut sugar or a sugar substitute like stevia. Adjust the amount to your taste preference since these can vary in sweetness!

  • How do I store leftovers if there are any?

    If you have leftover dessert, cover it and keep it in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. The granola might lose some crunch but the flavors will still be delightful!

  • Can I use fresh blueberries instead of powdered blueberry?

    Fresh blueberries can be pureed and folded into the cream for a fresh burst. Just be mindful of the additional moisture they may contribute!

  • What is the best way to adjust the sweetness?

    Start by adding a small amount of sweetener and taste-test as you go. This is the best way to find your perfect level of sweetness!
