I strongly recommend using fresh blackberries in this recipe for best flavor. Raspberries, strawberries or a combination of all three may be used, but they should all be fresh. Ingredients:
4 cups heavy cream |
1 cup confectioners' sugar, divided |
1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature |
1/8 teaspoon almond extract |
2 pints fresh blackberries |
8 strips of lemon zest, for garnish |
8 sprigs fresh mint |
Directions:
1. Pour the heavy cream into a large bowl with half of the confectioners' sugar and almond extract. Whip until stiff. Fold in sour cream. Refrigerate.
2. In a separate bowl, toss blackberries with the remaining confectioners' sugar. Let stand at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
3. In 8 parfait glasses, layer whipped cream and blackberries, beginning and ending with whipped cream. Garnish each parfait with a strip of lemon zest, a few blackberries and a sprig of mint.
