Description
Looking for an elegant and impressive dessert that’s extremely easy to make? Look no further than Berry Fools. Here I’ve used blackberries, but use any seasonal berry you like.
Ingredients
- 6 ounces, weight Ripe Blackberries (or Other Berries)
- ½ Lemon, Zest Only
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- ½ teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
Preparation
Make berry puree by blitzing berries with lemon zest in a personal blender or small food processor; strain seeds and discard.
In a small mixing bowl, whip heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla using a handheld mixer until stiff peaks form.
In another small mixing bowl, fold together 6 tablespoons strained blackberry puree and 1 1/2 cups of sweetened whipped cream until combined (a few streaks remaining look lovely).
To neatly fill dessert cups, transfer berry and cream mixture to a piping bag and carefully fill six 3-ounce mini dessert cups (eight dessert cups if you don’t fill them as full). Place remaining whipped cream in another piping bag filled with a closed star tip and top each dessert. Garnish with a mint leaf and/or a drizzle of the remaining blackberry puree.
Note: The blackberries can be substituted with other seasonal berries. Yields six 3-ounce portions.
