Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (hulled and sliced) Strawberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 cup Raspberries
- 0.25 cup Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 4 scoops Lemon sorbet
- 4 sprigs Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, sugar, and fresh lemon juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the berries begin to break down and release their juices.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the berry mixture, stirring constantly to avoid clumping.
Continue to cook the compote for another 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the compote to cool slightly before serving, or let it cool completely if you prefer it chilled.
To assemble the dessert, scoop one scoop of lemon sorbet into each serving bowl.
Top the sorbet with a generous spoonful of the warm or cooled mixed berry compote.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, if desired, and serve immediately.
