Fresh blueberry recipe

Ingredients
- Blueberries
- Blackberries
- Granulated sugar

- Heavy whipping cream – also referred to as simply ‘heavy cream’. The difference between heavy cream and whipping cream is simply the amount of milk fat in the cream. Heavy cream contains 36% milk fat while whipping cream is 30% milk fat. Either can be used here but heavy whipping cream is preferred because it whips easier and holds its shape longer than regular whipping cream and makes for the fluffiest whipped cream. Cool Whip can also be substituted for the homemade whipped cream if you’d prefer. Cool Whip can be found in the freezer section of the grocery store and once defrosted is similar to homemade whipped cream.
- Confectioners sugar – you can use granulated sugar to make whipped cream but the little bit of cornstarch in confectioners sugar helps to make a bit more of a stabilized whipped cream to keep it fluffy for as long as possible.
- Vanilla extract
Step by step instructions
- Make a delicious blackberry blueberry sauce. Start by warming berries with sugar and a little water then puree and strain to remove seeds. Cool to room temperature then refrigerate until ready to use, up to 4 days.
- Then make homemade whipped cream. Start with cold heavy cream. The colder the cream, the easier and more quickly it will whip. It never hurts to even chill the mixing bowl and whisk or beaters in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or the freezer for 15 minutes. Whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla together on medium-high speed until soft and billowy, only a few minutes. Whipped cream will be ready when they reach medium high peaks.
- Pour a small amount of berry sauce into a serving dish.
- Dollop whipped cream over top.
- Stir to swirl berry sauce into whipped cream and add additional sauce until the desired amount of berry is added.
- Serve this delicious blackberry blueberry whipped cream and enjoy!
