Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 8 ounces Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Wash and gently pat dry the mixed berries. If using large strawberries, hull and slice them into quarters.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice to the skillet, stirring until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture starts to slightly bubble, about 1 minute.
Carefully add the mixed berries to the skillet and stir gently to coat them in the buttery sugar mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the berries are warm and begin to release their juices. Avoid overcooking to maintain their texture.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the berries for added warmth and flavor. Stir gently to incorporate.
Remove the skillet from heat and divide the warm berries into two serving bowls.
Top each bowl of warm berries with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (about 4 ounces per serving).
Serve immediately and enjoy the contrast of warm, juicy berries with cool, creamy ice cream.
