Berriesandcream Recipes

Steps:

• Add the heavy cream and sugar to the chilled bowl of a stand mixer (you can also use a hand mixer or a whisk and a large chilled bowl). Whip on medium speed until the cream holds soft peaks. Add the vanilla bean paste, creme fraiche, orange zest and orange liqueur and whip on medium speed until the cream holds medium peaks.
• Layer fruit in a bowl, spoon over whipped cream and serve.

Steps:

• Mix together the sour cream and cinnamon in a small bowl. Divide the blueberries and raspberries among 4 coupe glasses or small bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of spiced sour cream, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and a good sprinkling of toasted almonds.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Place the pie crust on a cutting board, and cut out circle shapes using the top of a coffee cup. Collect scrap pieces, and roll out again to stamp out more shapes, making 12-14 circles total.
• Fill half the circles with a tablespoon of the cream cheese, followed by a heaping teaspoon of jam.
• Using your finger, lightly wet the edges of the cut rounds with water.
• Cover the tops with the remaining circles, pressing the two dough halves together. Crimp edges with a fork to seal.
• In a bowl, beat the egg with water. Brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash.
• Use a small, sharp knife to cut a ventilation hole, or slit into the top of the pies.
• Arrange the pies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool completely before serving.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• For the cream: In a saucepan, bring some water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Have a mixing bowl ready that will fit over the top of the pan but not sink all the way in.
• Put the egg yolks in the mixing bowl off heat. Add the granulated sugar and whisk until the yolks start to turn pale. Place the mixing bowl over the saucepan with the simmering water. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add to the egg mixture. Slowly add the rum and whisk to combine. Cook over the simmering water until thick, using a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl, about 5 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool.
• For the orange liqueur raspberries: Add the raspberries, confectioners' sugar, orange liqueur and orange zest to a bowl and mix together. Let macerate for 1 hour.
• To assemble: Pile the fruit into 6 individual martini glasses and top with the cream. Crush a cookie over each one and garnish with mint.

Steps:

• Simmer frozen raspberries and sugar together for 10 minutes. Serve sauce with sweetened whipped cream.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine berries, lemon zest and sugar. Gently toss, being careful not to break the blackberries and raspberries too much.
• Allow berry mixture to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes until berries begin to create their own juice, and sugar is dissolved.
• Serve in four small serving bowls (or dessert bowls) with around 2 tbs. cream drizzled attop per bowl.

Steps:

• Toss strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar. Let sit until juicy, 20 minutes.
• Whip heavy cream with remaining sugar.

Steps:

• Beat whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form; beat in sugar until incorporated. Stir in condensed milk. Fold in mixed berries.

Steps:

• Measure the cassis into the base of a large serving bowl and stir in the strawberries. Pile the raspberries and blueberries on top and scatter over the sugar, but don't mix yet.
• Cover the bowl with cling film. Just before serving gently toss the berries and serve with a big jug of cream.
