Blueberry

Blueberry Oat Scones

This version of the scone is based on the recipe from the Standard Baking Company. Molly tweaked the recipe slightly in her home kitchen. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before folding into the batter.

Blueberry Crumb Bars

The oat mixture makes a delicious crust for the bottom—and a tasty crumble on top. Lemon perks up the blueberry filling.

Mixed Berry Pie with Ginger, Orange, and Almond Streusel

Raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries are baked between a crisp pastry crust and a crumbly streusel topping.

Mixed-Berry Tiramisù with Lime Curd

This luxurious treat is somewhere between a trifle, a tiramisù, and a summer pudding. The lime gives it a wonderful brightness.

Blueberry Shortcakes with Lemon and Thyme Biscuits

The secret to great shortcakes is a very moist dough, so don’t be tempted to add more flour.

Blueberry Jam Sandwich Cookies

Blueberry meets its ideal match: lemon. There will be some jam leftover, but we doubt you'll mind.

Red, White, and Blue Ice Cream Cake

Editor's note: This recipe is adapted from Gabrielle Carbone, coproprietor of The Bent Spoon ice cream parlor in Princeton, New Jersey. This pretty, striped cake can be assembled either from freshly made sorbet and ice cream or from leftovers. If you make the components fresh, it's helpful to have more than one freezer bowl for your ice cream maker or a self-freezing machine. If you don't, remember that some models demand that you freeze the bowl overnight between batches. You can make the batches on successive days, packing each flavor into the pan as it's done, then freezing the pan and the bowl until you're ready to make the next batch. Try to keep everything that you use in the preparation of this cake — even your cake stand or serving plate — cold. This will help the cake look better longer, especially on a hot day. The simple, fresh flavors of the sorbets and ice cream don't need much embellishment, but crushed Newman's Own Organic O's (the organic take on Oreos) or chopped candied ginger make a nice addition and help separate the layers.

Lemon Cornmeal Cake with Lemon Glaze and Crushed-Blueberry Sauce

This rustic cake gets a zing from a tangy lemon glaze. The sauce dresses up the cake for dessert (or brunch).

Pear Cobbler with Dried Blueberries and Stone-Ground Corn Biscuits

Apple juice and dried blueberries bring subtle sweetness to the filling. Like your desserts sweeter? Add one or two tablespoons of sugar.

Blueberries in Gin Syrup

An aromatic syrup that calls to mind the clean smell of the forest enhances the flavor of fresh blueberries. Also, since it's poured over the berries while hot, it colors them a gorgeous sapphire and softens them, making their burst in the mouth even more intense.

Berry Tiramisu

Here's a great recipe for a large group, as it can be made in quantity without much fuss. This berry tiramisù has become one of my favorite ways to show off the fresh berries of the season. If you wish, serve sliced strawberries or a compote of blueberries and raspberries on the side.

Blueberry Pie with Cornmeal Crust and Lemon Cream

In this gorgeous pie, blueberry meets its perfect match: lemon.

Red, White, and Blueberry Shortcakes

An absolutely delicious (and patriotic) treat. The white chocolate cream is so good, you can eat it on its own with fresh berries.

S'mores Cheesecake with Summer Berries

Two American classics in one dessert: A rich milk chocolate cheesecake sandwiched between a buttery graham cracker crust and a fluffy marshmallow topping.

Mango Blueberry "Fool"

A quick buzz in the blender and this creamy, fruity dessert is practically done. Just add juicy summer blueberries and a sprinkling of lime zest and you've got a beautiful finish you'll return to again and again.

Meyer Lemon Semifreddo With Summer Berries

This dessert is like a frozen mousse, which helps explain its name: semifreddo, or "half-frozen."

Gluten-Free Blueberry Corn Muffins

This crowd-pleasing recipe was developed by Susan Baldassano, Director of Education at the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts in New York City. For moist, tender muffins, use finely ground yellow cornmeal, such as that made by Arrowhead Mills. You can replace the blueberries with an equal amount of cranberries and increase the sugar to 2 tablespoons, or replace the blueberries with 3/4 cup of raspberries.These muffins are delicious on their own, or try them warm with butter and jam. Cooled muffins can be wrapped in plastic and stored at room temperature for up to three days or frozen for up to three weeks. Thaw and reheat muffins in 350°F oven or microwave (unlike those made with wheat, gluten-free baked goods won't get tough in the microwave). See our related story for more information and sources for gluten-free ingredients.
