Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Syrup
Place the blueberries and granulated sugar in a pan over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a boil for 7–10 minutes, stirring regularly.
Place a sieve over a bowl and pour the blueberry mixture through it.
Press firmly with a spatula or spoon to extract all the juice, leaving only the pulp behind.
Pour the blueberry syrup into a piping bag and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Cream Filling
In a deep bowl, combine the cream cheese, mascarpone, whipped cream stabilizer, powdered sugar, and vanilla sugar.
Mix for 1 minute until smooth.
Gradually add the heavy cream while mixing until the mixture is firm.
Step 3: Add Blueberry Syrup to the Cream
Separate one-third of the cream into a separate bowl.
Add 75 g of blueberry syrup and gently fold it in.
Transfer this blueberry cream into a piping bag and set aside.
Step 4: Assemble the Pie
Briefly dip the Maria biscuits in milk and arrange them in a single layer on a round serving plate.
Pipe the blueberry cream over the biscuits and spread it evenly.
Place a second layer of Maria biscuits on top.
Pipe half of the white cream over this layer and spread it evenly.
Pipe a swirl of blueberry syrup over it.
Repeat this process with another layer of Maria biscuits, followed by the remaining white cream.
Ensure the sides are well-covered.
Place the pie in the refrigerator to set for at least a few hours, preferably overnight.
Step 5: Make the White Chocolate Ganache
Heat 50 ml of heavy cream until almost boiling.
Add the white chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute.
Stir until smooth and let it cool.
Step 6: Final Decoration
Pipe a layer of cream around the sides of the pie.
Spread the white chocolate ganache over the center.
Pipe some blueberry syrup over the ganache and use a toothpick to create a decorative pattern.
Cover the pie and let it set further in the refrigerator, preferably overnight.
Step 7: Serve
Cut the pie into slices and decorate with fresh blueberries and mint leaves just before serving.
