Ingredients
Ingredients currently available at the farmers’ market

● ½ cup plus 1 Tablespoon sugar, divided ● 5 large egg yolks
● ½ cup plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, divided
● 2 teaspoons lemon zest
● 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
● 1 cup fresh blueberries, plus extra for garnish ● 1 cup chilled heavy cream ● ¼ cups plain Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Whisk ½ cup sugar and yolks in a small saucepan until combined. Whisk in ½ cup lemon
    juice, zest, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring until curd is thickened and just
    beginning to come to a boil. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill until
    cold, about 1 hour.
  2. Place 1 cup blueberries and the remaining 1 Tablespoon sugar in a small saucepan.
    Cook over medium heat, gently mashing, until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes.
    Remove from heat, stir in remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and let cool completely
    before using.
  3. Whip cream to soft peaks. Fold yogurt and ½ of lemon curd into the cream. Spoon
    lemon cream into glasses, alternating with remaining lemon curd and blueberry
    compote. Gently swirl with a skewer or chopstick. Top with fresh blueberries and serve
    chilled.
