Bring to a simmer over medium heat; remove from heat and steep 30 minutes. Remove and discard husks. Transfer milk mixture to a blender and puree until smooth.

Slowly whisk 1/2 cup hot milk mixture into egg mixture until smooth, then transfer egg mixture to saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and add gelatin mixture, whisking until gelatin is dissolved. Strain custard through a fine strainer into a bowl, set over a larger bowl of ice water. Cover surface of custard directly with plastic wrap; refrigerate until cold. Beat cream to soft peaks and gently fold into custard; set aside. MAKE THE SHORTBREAD CRUMBLE: Set oven to 325°F/165°C.

Let cool completely and break into bite-size pieces; set aside. ASSEMBLE THE TRIFLES: Layer pastry cream and blueberry compote in small glasses or ramekins; top with shortbread crumble.
