Berries with Geranium Cream Recipe

Berries with Geranium Cream Recipe

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped pesticide-free rose-scented geranium (pelargonium) leaves
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3 cups blackberries
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries
  1. Heat cream, geranium leaves, and sugar in a metal bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until sugar is dissolved and cream is hot but not boiling, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly, then chill until cold, about 45 minutes.
  2. Pour cream through a sieve set into a bowl and discard solids.
  3. Beat together cream cheese and cream in a bowl with an electric mixer until thickened (cream should not hold peaks), about 2 minutes.
  4. Divide blackberries and blueberries among 6 bowls or parfait glasses and top with cream.
