Edible wild berries dessert
This recipe yields 6 servings and is made with blueberries and blackberries. It is made out of a berry salad topped with a berry cream.
Edible wild berries salad
- 1 pint fresh blackberries, lightly rinsed and patted dry
- 1 pint fresh blueberries, lightly rinsed and patted dry
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves.
- Combine the blueberries with the blackberries, the lemon juice and the sugar in a large, non-reactive bowl.
- Let the berries mixture rest for 2 hours at room temperature for the juices to develop.
While the salad is resting, prepare the wild berries topping
Topping
- 1 pint (2 cups) fresh blueberries, lightly rinsed and patted dry, divided
- 6 full mint sprigs, for garnish
- 1/4 cup sugar
- an extra 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 1/2 cup crème fraîche
- 1 1/2 cups light or non-dairy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Place the 1 cup of the blueberries with the 1/4th cup of sugar in a small saucepan over a medium-low heat.
- Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved and the edible blueberries have softened.
- Remove berries from heat and transfer to a medium bowl to cool completely. (To speed the process, chill the berries in the fridge for about 20 minutes or in the freezer for about 5 minutes).
- Add the remaining cup blueberries to the cooled blueberries and set aside.
- Meanwhile the berries are cooling, whip together the cream with the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Add the crème fraîche and continue beating until again soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the cooled blueberries into the whipped mixture using a large rubber spatula. Being careful not to overmix: just create a marbleized effect from berries in cream.
- Refrigerate the berries topping loosely covered for up to at least 2 hours.
Serving the dessert
- Toss the black and blue berries mixture with the chopped mint.
- Spoon about one-half cup of the black and blue berry salad into each of 6 dessert bowls.
- Top with a generous portion of the berry cream.
- Garnish each portion of your edible wild berries dessert with a sprig of mint.
