10-Minute Blueberry Sauce

Grab the fresh fruit for a refreshing sundae topping with this summer-ready recipe for 10-Minute Blueberry Sauce.

When it comes to ice cream sundaes, there are two teams in this world: Team Toppings and Team Mix-Ins.

Do you go for a solid ice cream base showered with all the sauces, chocolate, nuts, fruit, sprinkles and/or whipped cream you can find, or do you prefer a more muddled approach with mix-ins?

I am Team Toppings all the way! I like a very classic ice cream flavor base (preferably vanilla bean), and then any and all toppings imaginable. But if I had to choose just one, it’d be fruit. Smashed raspberries, chopped strawberries, roasted peaches — name the fruit and I’ll toss it atop my dairy dessert.

So when it comes to sauces, fast and fresh blueberry sauce ranks at the top of my list. This easy recipe takes only 10 minutes to make and requires only four ingredients. Simply toss them all together and let the stove work its’ magic.

Best of all, if you’re not a blueberry sauce enthusiast, use this exact same recipe template with any other fruit to yield the same saucy result. And this sauce isn’t just for sundaes! Spoon it atop cheesecakes and bundt cakes or use it as a dip for doughnuts.
