  • Cuisine: French-Inspired
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp unflavored gelatin (or 1 tsp agar-agar for vegetarian)
  • 2 tbsp cold water (for blooming gelatin)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water. Simmer over medium heat until berries break down, about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Strain mixture through a fine sieve to remove seeds. Chill the purée.
  3. Bloom gelatin by sprinkling it over 2 tbsp cold water and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Rewarm the purée slightly and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Let it cool to room temperature.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the cooled blackberry purée into the whipped cream until well combined and airy.
  7. Spoon into serving glasses or ramekins. Smooth tops and chill for at least 2 hours until set.
  8. Garnish with fresh blackberries and mint sprigs before serving.

Notes

  • Use coconut cream and agar-agar for a dairy-free, vegetarian version.
  • Add a bit of melted dark chocolate or cocoa for a chocolate twist.
  • Infuse the purée with herbs like thyme or rosemary for a gourmet touch.
  • Add citrus zest for a fresh aromatic lift.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days; do not freeze.
