Jasmine Beech took out the BC Blueberry Weltec competition held earlier this year with this delicious Blueberry dish.
Jasmine has kindly shared her recipe and inspiration behind the dessert.
About my dish:
Due to the challenge of this competition, you must have frozen blueberries your hero on the dish. The first thing anyone would think about it a classic muffin, however my mind didn’t go there and thought about cheesecakes and mousse and to be presented in a way it hasn’t been shown yet.
I have created a dish that is creamy and light and deep in flavour all natural from the frozen blueberries. My dish starts with an almond crispy biscuit base with a blueberry compote disk in the center of a light and creamy blueberry lemon cheesecake topped with a thin shell of white chocolate. This semi-circle in sitting on top of a rich white chocolate blueberry infused ganache topped with cooked blueberries and mint with a vanilla bean ice cream quenelle on the side.
