Blueberry bombs have one serious flaw—they disappear from plates far too quickly. This dessert not only delights the taste buds but also sneaks cottage cheese and fruits into the diets of the youngest. Try it, and you won't stop at just one serving.

Prepare blueberry bombs for an afternoon snack, and your loved ones will be ecstatic. This dessert is very simple to prepare, yet it can amaze as if it were made by a chef from the best restaurant. All you need to do is mix blueberries with cottage cheese and whipped cream.

Blueberry bombs. The perfect dessert for summer with seasonal fruits

Blueberry bombs showcase the taste of seasonal fruits and offer a mixture of creamy, fluffy whipped cream and the delicateness of cottage cheese. One could say they are an ice cream dessert, as they are enjoyed after freezing. Waiting until they are ready to be taken out of the freezer is the hardest part of making blueberry bombs.

You can prepare blueberry bombs with any additions you like. Instead of blueberries, choose other fruits, such as raspberries or apricots, and use ground nuts for coating. There are really many options. Getting a silicone mould with semi-spherical indentations is also a good idea. This way, the bombs can appear on plates in a perfect, smooth shape.
