On our second stop using fresh seasonal ingredients, the blackberry is the star of this simple dessert. I never have nor will I ever be a pastry chef nor do I have a particular affinity towards sweets, but my boys do. So during the weekend, I make an effort to prepare at least one homemade dessert for my family to enjoy. This particular dish consists of 6 ingredients and took me 10 minutes total to prepare.
Ingredients
1 1/2 Cups Blackberries
1/2 Fresh Lime (Juiced)
2 1/2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 Cup Heavy Cream
1 Tablespoon Confectioners Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract (I couldn't find fresh vanilla beans so I used extract instead)
Preparation
- In a bowl, use the back of a wooden spoon or masher and crush the blackberries. Add the lime juice and brown sugar, mix thoroughly
- In another bowl, add cream, confectioners sugar and vanilla. Blend with a hand mixture (approximately 2 minutes) until you have soft peaks
- Pour the the blackberry mixture into the cream and swirl to blend.
- Top with a few fresh blackberries and serve
