Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh or frozen mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until fully combined to create a slurry. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat.
Cook the berries, stirring gently, until they start releasing their juices and begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the berry mixture and stir well to incorporate.
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Stir frequently to avoid sticking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the topping cool slightly before spooning it over your favorite ice cream.
Serve warm and enjoy!
