Notes
This dessert is best served warm, with ice cream or whipped cream on top.
You can substitute fresh blueberries with frozen ones, but don’t forget to drain excess liquid after thawing.
For a variation, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or mix in some other berries like raspberries or blackberries.
