Glaze
In a saucepan, simmer the blueberries, sugar and water on low heat for 10 minutes, until reduced. Pass mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, reserve syrup and discard the pulp.
Return the syrup to the same saucepan on low heat and stir in chocolate, cream and vanilla until melted and smooth. Cool slightly and pour immediately onto cooled cake. Serve with custard or crème anglaise.
