Serves: 2 to 4
Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries, plus extra for topping if desired
  • Zest and juice of 1 small lime
  • 4 tablespoons powdered sugar, divided
  • 1 cup cold heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
  1. Place the metal mixing bowl of your electric mixer and the whisk attachment in the freezer to get ice cold. Then, in a sieve placed over a medium bowl, press the blackberries through the mesh with the back of a spoon to get all of the juice and pulp into the bowl.
  2. Zest the lime, then juice it. Add 1 teaspoon of the juice and 1 teaspoon of the zest into the berry purée. Then stir in 3 tablespoons of the powdered sugar.
  3. Take the bowl and whisk out of the freezer and attach to mixer. Pour in the cold cream, remaining 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar, and the vanilla. Mix on high speed until soft peaks form, a few minutes.
  4. Gently fold the blackberry-lime mixture into the whipped cream. Gently spoon into 2-4 serving dishes or glasses. Top with extra blackberries and extra lime zest if desired. Serve immediately.
