Blueberries Blueberries. Blueberry pie, Blueberry ice cream, Blueberry cheesecake, Blueberry brownie, Blueberry crumble, Blueberry cookies, Blueberry smoothie, Blueberry cake! ARGH there are a million and one desserts out there that involve this little tiny fruit.
Do not judge this fruit by its size. It’s way packed with all the vitamins, minerals and antioxidant that is good for your body. It’s quite a common fruit here in SG. Infact, they always have discounts in NTUC or cold storage. Although I wish cherries have a better presence here, I shall not be picky as blueberries are pretty yummy too.
So so so I bought 2 boxes of blueberries. Each box was about 150g. I used 2 boxes in total to make a 6” square crumb bar. This yields 9 square brownies of decent serving. You know what the best part is? It’s when you microwave the brownie for a few seconds till it’s piping hot and then you scoop a generous serving of your favourite ice cream on top of the hot brownie. Watch the ice cream melt a little and savor the moment as you put the two in your mouth.
Flavor explosion. If you wanna eat something sweet, might as well go big! Enjoy guys!Recipe adapted from Michele from FlavorMosaic
