Fresh blueberries are on the supermarket shelves at the moment, and you should find them in the frozen aisles too.
But this recipe's best reward is when you use your own blueberries, harvested, frozen, and now enjoyed to the full.
Using just two ingredients, this dessert tastes far richer and more indulgent than you might expect. Overripe bananas are the secret!
Quick, simple, tasty... and classy!
