In a second small saucepan, combine nectarines, remaining 2 Tbsp sugar, and remaining 1 tsp lemon juice. Simmer both, stirring occasionally, smashing blueberry mixture with back of spoon, until each is thickened, about 10 minutes for nectarine sauce and 15 minutes for blueberry sauce.

- Step 5Spread blueberry cream in bottoms of prepared pans; freeze until set, 15 minutes. Divide remaining blueberry sauce between pans and freeze until set, 30 minutes.
