Blueberry Fools

- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/3 cups heavy cream

- Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries are soft, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the lemon zest and juice; remove from the heat.
- Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- Beat the heavy cream in a bowl with a mixer or whisk until soft peaks just begin to form.
- Beat in the vanilla and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Gently fold all but 1/3 cup of the blueberry sauce into the whipped cream.
- Divide among glasses and top with the remaining blueberry sauce.
- Serve with cookies.
