Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 1 cup Raspberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract (optional)
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (for garnish)
- 1 ounce Dark chocolate (for grating)
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Set all the berries aside.
In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using).
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed, whip the cream until medium peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip to avoid turning it into butter.
In serving glasses or bowls, start layering: add a layer of berries, followed by a generous dollop of whipped cream. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Grate the dark chocolate over the top layer of whipped cream for a touch of elegance and flavor.
Garnish each serving with a mint leaf for a fresh pop of color.
Serve immediately and enjoy this light and romantic dessert!
