Substitute:

Ingredients:
150 g Blueberries
4 Croissants / Vegan croissants
1 tbsp Icing sugar
1 tsp cornflour
1 tsp Vanilla extract

Recipe:
- Put the blueberries in a pan with the icing sugar, corn flour, vanilla and 2 tbsp water.
- Heat gently over low to medium heat until saucy. This should take about 6-8 minutes.

- In a mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese (or vegan cream cheese) and 1 tbsp maple syrup.
- Spread the cream cheese onto the croissant bases, drizzle over the blueberry compote and put on the croissant tops.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup on top.
How to store
Keep the blueberry compote in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Leftovers
The blueberry compote is delicious served on toast, on pancakes, or in porridge and yoghurt (or vegan yoghurt). It would also be delicious in vanilla or citrus cake recipes – just swirl some of the compote in the cake batter or top on the already cooked cake.
