Hot Blackberries And Cream 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:

• Place the blackberries in a medium bowl and sprinkle with the granulated sugar, then drizzle with the vanilla. Toss lightly to evenly coat. Allow to steep for 10 minutes, then mash the blackberries until they release their juices and form a thick pulp.
• Combine the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in another medium bowl. Use an electric stand or hand mixer or whisk to whip the cream to medium peaks. (When you lift the beater or whisk, the cream should hold a peak for a moment.)
• Pour the berry mixture over the cream and use a rubber spatula to gently fold until combined. You can leave streaks of the berry mixture or completely incorporate it. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. To serve, scoop into glasses or dishes and top with cookies if desired.

Steps:

• Move broiler rack to lowest possible position, at least 6 inches from the top element, and turn on oven broiler.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, lime zest, sugar, and cinnamon. Gently fold in the blackberries, and transfer to small gratin dish. Sprinkle brown sugar on top. Broil until the brown sugar melts and darkens, 1 to 3 minutes, rotating the dish halfway through so it browns evenly but doe not burn. Serve hot.

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.
