Method sponge

Preheat oven to 180C

Bake at 180C for 25 minutes until you can place a knife through the middle of the cake and it come out clean.
Allow the cake to cool.

Method custard

Pop cream in a pan over low heat. Add in the whisked egg yolks, milk, vanilla and little by little, the sweetener. Have a taste until you are happy with how sweet it is. Everyone is different so please do not add it all at once, as you might find it too sweet. If it isn't sweet enough then please carefully add some more.
Warm slowly to a bubble. Reduce heat and continue to mix until desired temperature and thickness.

Method serving

In to a small pan, pop half the blueberries over high heat. Add a splash of water.
Bring to a bubble, reduce to a simmer.
Pop some cake in to the bottom of a glass, pour custard over it and add some blueberry coulis, followed by fresh blueberries and a little fresh mint. Repeat until all serving glasses are full.
