These individual baked blueberry pudding cups are the perfect blend of comfort and simplicity. Somewhere between a pudding, a cobbler, and a soft cake, this dessert features juicy blueberries bubbling beneath a tender, lightly golden topping. Served in small ramekins, it feels rustic yet elegant—ideal for both everyday treats and special occasions.
As the dessert bakes, the blueberries release their juices to form a rich, jammy base, while the batter gently sets on top, creating a creamy center with lightly crisp edges.
Ingredients (Makes 4 Individual Ramekins)
Blueberry Layer
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries 🫐
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Pudding Batter
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk (whole milk preferred)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
How It’s Made
The blueberries are lightly sweetened and tossed with cornstarch to help thicken their juices as they bake. This mixture is spooned into the bottom of each greased ramekin.
A simple batter is prepared by combining the dry ingredients, then whisking in milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla. The batter is poured gently over the blueberries, allowing some of the fruit to peek through.
As the pudding cups bake, the fruit bubbles underneath while the top turns soft, golden, and lightly crisp.
Baking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Grease four small ramekins and place them on a baking sheet.
- Divide the blueberry mixture evenly among the ramekins.
- Pour the batter over the blueberries.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the cake portion comes out mostly clean.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar for a classic finish
- Add a few fresh blueberries on top for presentation
