Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups blackberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 6 pieces shortbread cookies
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the blackberries under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a medium bowl, combine the blackberries with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Gently mix to evenly coat the berries and set aside for 5 minutes to macerate.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar using a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
Using your hands or a rolling pin, crumble the shortbread cookies into coarse crumbs. Ensure a mix of larger chunks and finer crumbs for texture.
Assemble the Weekdaes: In serving glasses or bowls, layer a spoonful of blackberry mixture, followed by whipped cream, and then a sprinkle of shortbread crumbs. Repeat until the glasses are filled, finishing with whipped cream on top.
Add a few extra blackberries and a light sprinkle of cookie crumbs on the top layer. Optionally, garnish with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, fruity Blackberry Weekdaes!
