  2. Turn the heat down to medium and continue to boil, stirring occasionally, for another 10 minutes until the filling thickens and reduces by half.

Assemble & Bake

  1. Press a handful of the crumble mixture into the bottom of each ramekin. This step creates a base for the blueberry filling.

In the right top corner of the image is the clear plastic bowl of a food processor with more of the nutty crumbly mixture in it.
  2. Divide the blueberry filling between the four ramekins.

The ramekins sit on a white square tiled surface. To the right side of the image is a pan with the reduced berry glaze filling and a silver spoon dipping into the glaze with the handle pointing to the bottom of the image.
  3. Top with an additional handful of crumble mixture. This step creates the final layer of the dessert and helps to enclose the blueberry filling.

  4. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until the top crumbles appear golden brown. The goal of this is to heat the crisps throughout and allow the blueberry filling to merge slightly with the crust. Don’t sweat it if your topping isn’t golden brown after 10 minutes. After it’s done baking, allow to cool for 5 – 10 minutes.

  5. Top with ice cream or whip cream (optional). This adds a creamy and sweet element to the dessert that contrasts beautifully with the nutty crumble and juicy filling.
