There's a fine line between scoopable ice cream and melted..I've yet to find that! Stir the ice cream to even out the texture and place in the center of the glass avoiding the sides if possible.
Yield: 6
Ingredients
  • 3 cups plus ¾ cup mixed berries, well washed and divided (any combination of strawberries hulled and quartered, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries halved)
  • 4 Tbls granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 pinch coarse salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream
  • 1 pint raspberry sorbet
  • 6 graham crackers, crushed
  • 2 Tbls fresh lemon zest
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan heat 1 cup of mixed berries, 2 tbls sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat, stirring often, until the blueberries begin to burst and the other berries break down, about 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl or stand mixer, using a balloon whisk or hand-held mixer, beat the cream at medium speed until soft peaks form.
  3. While the cream is mixing, mash ¾ cup of mixed berries with remaining 2 tbls sugar using a fork, until slightly chunky and loose.Gently fold the crushed berries into the whipped cream. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. Remove the berries from the heat and stir in the pinch of salt. Place half the berry mixture in a blender and puree until smooth. Return the sauce to the saucepan and stir well to combine with remaining 2 cups of fruit (I fork mashed mine). Allow to cool slightly.
  5. To serve: spoon 2 tbls of the berry sauce into each of 6 parfait or rocks glasses. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a sprinkling of crushed graham crackers, and a pinch of lemon zest. Then add a scoop of the raspberry sorbet and another 2 tablespoons of the sauce. Top with a dollop of berry whipped cream and finish with a sprinkling of the graham crackers and another pinch of zest.
  6. Garnish with fresh berries if desired
  7. Serve immediately.
