This simple dessert will wow your guests with its bright bursts of color and flavor—a perfect tribute to the holiday. Pair each serving with a crisp cookie for a nice contrast to the soft, creamy textures filling every glass.
Lisa Park
| 3 cups blueberries | 12 ounces heavy whipping cream | |
| 2 cups raspberries | 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract | |
| 1 cup strawberries, halved and sliced | Crisp cookies (your choice) | |
| 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar, divided |
Place blueberries in one bowl, and raspberries and strawberries in another bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to each bowl and toss gently. This will help release the fruits' juices and sweeten the berries. Set aside for 15 to 20 minutes.
While fruit is macerating, add whipping cream, vanilla extract and the remaining sugar into a medium-size mixing bowl (preferably chilled). Whip until stiff peaks form.
Spoon alternating layers of blueberries, whipped cream, then raspberry-strawberry combination into glassware of your choice. Serve with crispy cookies, such as tuile cigars.
