Easy Blackberry Treat (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Blackberry Mixture

01 - 1 tbsp lemon juice
02 - 1/4 cup (50g) white sugar
03 - 2 cups (300g) fresh blackberries, plus a few extras for topping

→ Fluffy Cream Topping

04 - 1 tsp vanilla flavoring
05 - 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
06 - 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, kept cold

→ Optional Toppings

07 - Fresh mint sprigs
08 - Cool whipped cream
09 - Extra berries

# Instructions:

01 - Toss the blackberries, lemon juice, and sugar into a small pot. Heat everything on medium, stirring every so often, for about 5-7 minutes until the blackberries soften and the juices come out. Push the mixture through a fine strainer to separate the seeds, then let the smooth puree cool down to room temp.
02 - Grab a big bowl and whip the cold heavy cream with the vanilla and powdered sugar until it's firm and holds peaks.
03 - Take your cooled blackberry sauce and carefully fold it into the whipped cream until you’ve got a light, airy blend.
04 - Fill up small dessert bowls or cups with the finished mousse. Smooth out the tops if needed.
05 - Chill it in the fridge for at least 2 hours so it sets nicely. Before serving, give it a fancy touch with blackberries, whipped cream, and mint leaves if you feel like it.

# Notes:

01 - Taste your berries first—if they're on the sour side, toss in another spoonful or two of sugar while cooking.
02 - For a more stylish dessert, try layering with crushed cookies or top with a drizzle of chocolate.
