During my teen years, my favorite restaurant was "Frosty Cottage", open only during the summer. They prepared this dessert named BLUEBERRY PATCH. The recipe has been my husband's and my "dessert of choice since we dated", imagine how good that must be!

How To Make blueberry topping/cupcake with ice cream

  • 1
    Bake the cupcakes,using your favorite recipe or a package mix, or the muffins. I have often substituted Sara Lee Pound cake for this part!
  • 2
    While they're baking, prepare the blueberry topping. I prefer using WILD BLUEBERRIES when they're available locally. Perhaps 2 cups in place of canned or frozen. Frozen are fine too!
  • 3
    Serve them while the cupcakes are still warm, with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream, and ladle the thick warm blueberry sauce over it.
  • 4
    Then be prepared to enjoy every spoonful! Umm Umm!
