Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Verwenden Sie eine gut gekühlte Schüssel und Rührbesen, um Sahne schnell und einfach steif zu schlagen. Das sanfte Unterheben der Sahne sorgt für eine besonders luftige Creme. Achten Sie darauf, die Blaubeeren gleichmäßig zu verteilen, damit in jedem Stück ein Fruchtgenuss steckt.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Für eine glutenfreie Variante ersetzen Sie die Graham-Cracker durch glutenfreie Kekse. Sollte es einmal keine frischen Blaubeeren geben, können Sie auch auf aufgetaute und gut abgetropfte Tiefkühlbeeren zurückgreifen. Statt Blaubeeren eignen sich auch Himbeeren oder gemischte Beeren hervorragend.

Serviervorschläge

Servieren Sie die Lemon Blueberry Icebox Cake gut gekühlt, garniert mit frischer Zitronenschale, extra Blaubeeren und ein paar Minzblättern für einen besonderen Frische-Kick. Perfekt zu einer Tasse Kaffee oder als fruchtiges Dessert nach dem Grillen.
