Each layer of this gorgeous pie works together in sweet flavor harmony, including the lemon-brightened blueberry filling, the rich semisweet chocolate, and the sweet-and-tangy sour cream cookie crust.

With its glossy glaze and showy fluted shape, this fresh blueberry dessert is almost too pretty to eat. But not quite. Plain yogurt makes the bundt cake batter remarkably tender, while lemon, cardamom, and vanilla make each crumb of the blueberry cake worth savoring.

Step aside, strawberry shortcake. There's a new favorite shortcake recipe in town, featuring fluffy honey-yogurt cream and juicy, perfectly ripe blueberries. (If you’re lucky to have both kinds of berries, though, we highly recommend making this a strawberry and blueberry dessert for a beautiful red, white, and blue treat.)

Monkey bread always toes the line between brunch and dessert territories, but we’re fond of sharing this rum-spiked, easy blueberry dessert recipe in the evening. Master the cinnamon- and vanilla-scented treat in summer with fresh fruit. If (we should probably say “when”) you get addicted and add it to your weekly menu, continue the tradition in fall and winter by using the same formula for a frozen blueberry dessert. Just thaw the berries before inviting them to the biscuit-based party.

Sugar, spice, and everything nice are what you’ll find in each bite of this peach-blueberry dessert. The topping is a cinch to pull together with refrigerator and pantry staples. To balance the delightfully sweet, in-season peaches, blueberries, and raspberries, we suggest stirring a couple spoonfuls of chile-infused hot honey into the cast-iron skillet dessert.

Peaches and cherries aren’t the only fruits fit for cobblers and crisps. This mouthwatering cobbler, chock-full of blueberries and blackberries, proves that berries are made for the bubbly dessert bakes, too.

A sweetened blueberry sauce is the perfect complement to these berry-studded biscuits. (Warning: That sauce is so good, you should probably make a double batch to spoon over pancakes, waffles, ice cream, oatmeal … .) Whipping cream fluffs up the biscuit dough for a lusciously flaky, simple, fresh blueberry dessert.
