This simple, yummy recipe filled with fruit that is PERFECTLY ripe right now, appeared in our local paper this week. PRETTY, refreshing, and VERY patriotic looking. Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature |
6 tablespoons powdered sugar |
1 cup whipping cream |
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice (fresh) |
2 cups blueberries (fresh, sprinkled with sugar) |
2 cups strawberries (fresh, or red raspberries sprinkled with sugar) |
fresh mint leaves (to garnish) or lemon balm (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. In a medium mixing bowl, place the cream cheese, lemon juice, and powdered sugar. Whip with an electric mixer until fluffy. Slowly add whipping cream, a little at a time, and continue beating until the cream is incorporated and the mixture is fluffy.
2. Into tall wine glasses or champagne flutes, spoon some blueberries into the glass, then a dollop of whipped cream mixture. Add some strawberries or raspberries, then another dollop of whipped cream. Continue until glass is full, then garnish with mint leaves or lemon balm.
