Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package biscuit dough
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium saucepan, combine fresh blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until the blueberries start to release their juices and the mixture becomes slightly syrupy, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the blueberry mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Pour the warm blueberry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Open the package of biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Arrange the biscuits on top of the blueberry mixture, slightly overlapping to create a rustic, decorative top layer.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the dessert cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tips
- Use Fresh Blueberries: For the best flavor and texture, opt for fresh blueberries. If they're out of season, you can use frozen blueberries, but be sure to thaw and drain them before cooking to avoid excess moisture.
- Adjust Sweetness: Depending on your taste and the natural sweetness of the blueberries, feel free to adjust the sugar in the recipe. You can start with less sugar and add more if needed after tasting the blueberry mixture.
- Experiment with Flavors: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the blueberry mixture for an extra layer of flavor. A splash of almond extract instead of vanilla can also give it a unique twist!
- Biscuit Dough Alternatives: If you're feeling adventurous, try using homemade biscuit dough or even crescent roll dough for a different texture and taste.
- Serve with Style: For a stunning presentation, serve the dessert warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. A sprinkle of lemon zest on top can add a refreshing touch!
- Leftover Storage: If you have any leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best results!
