Ingredients:
Amount | Ingredient |
---|---|
4 | Blueberries |
2 | Sour cream |
2 | Vanilla |
2 | Brown sugar |
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prep:
- Set your oven to broil.
- Grab 4, 4 oz oven-proof ramekins.
-
Blueberry Bed:
- Spoon those plump blueberries into each ramekin, dividing them equally.
-
Creamy Elixir:
- Mix together the sour cream and vanilla until it forms a smooth, heavenly blend.
-
Cream Overload:
- Generously spoon the creamy mixture over the bed of blueberries, letting it cascade down gently.
-
Sweet Caramel Shower:
- Now, the pièce de résistance! Sprinkle that luscious brown sugar over the creamy blueberry goodness. Don’t hold back—cover them entirely with your sweet shower.
-
Into the Fiery Depths:
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and slide them under the broiler. Keep a keen eye as they dance under the heat, ensuring the brown sugar melts and transforms into a golden caramel. This should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Golden Glimmer:
- As you watch the sugar caramelize, be vigilant! Don’t let it burn. The magic happens when it turns a deep, golden hue.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven.
- Let them cool for a minute or two.
- Dive in with a spoon, savoring the warm, juicy blueberries mingling with the creamy richness and the sweet, caramelized sugar.
-
Chef’s Note:
- The original recipe called for a bit more sour cream and vanilla, but I found that 2 cups each worked perfectly.
- I also adjusted the brown sugar to about 1 to 1 1/4 cups, ensuring each blueberry was coated in sweet bliss.
-
Make It Your Own:
- Feel free to play around with the proportions! Whether you prefer a bit more tanginess from the sour cream or an extra kick of vanilla, this recipe invites you to create your own delicious masterpiece.
Tips for Perfection:
-
The Right Ramekins: Choose oven-proof ramekins that can handle the broiler’s intense heat without shying away.
-
Golden Brown Goodness: Keep an eagle eye on the broiler. The brown sugar should caramelize to a rich, golden hue, adding that perfect crunch to each bite.
-
Serve with Love: These Baked Blueberries are delightful straight out of the oven, but they also make for a heavenly treat the next day. Chill them in the fridge for a refreshing twist on this warm dessert.
