Blueberrys layered in sweetened whipped cream

This dessert was heavenly. We discovered we had some heavy cream that needed to be used or tossed, so we whipped it up and sweetened it with a touch of local honey. We layered blueberries in the bottom of a ramekin, spread whipped cream on top, and repeat. Delightful, delectable, and pretty close to healthy!
