Why You’ll Love This Recipe!
Fresh berries are one of my favorite things about living in the Pacific Northwest. But lucky for all of us fresh berries are available year round and when I’ve had enough of the grey, rainy days of winter I like to pretend it is summer again and enjoy some berries and cream. It definitely tastes like summer in a bowl.
It’s easy! I love the ease of the dessert and the simplicity of it too. A bowl of ripe, sweet, berries on top of a light, lovely orange infused whipped cream!
It’s the perfect dessert to serve after a heavy meal.
Ingredients Needed
- Fresh berries. I used a combination of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries
- Sugar
- Oranges, juice and zest
- Heavy Whipping Cream
How to Make Berries and Cream
- Place berries in a bowl and cover with sugar and fresh orange juice.
- Stir to combine.
- Let the berries sit for at least an hour.
- Combine sugar, orange juice and orange zest.
- Place in a small sauce pan and stir to dissolve sugar over medium heat.
- Allow mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes so that syrup begins to thicken.
- Cool syrup before adding it to the whipped cream
- Whip cream to medium peaks
- Fold syrup into whip cream
- Serve cream over berries
Tips
- Use fresh berries. I start with about 1 cup each of blueberries, raspberries and strawberries.
- Combine the berries, sugar and juice ahead of time to allow them enough time to soften.
