Very Berry Smash With Meringues And Sorbet Or Ice Cream Recipes

BERRY DELICIOUS ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a small pot combine the blueberries, sugar, and cinnamon stick. Put pot over medium heat and cook until sugar dissolves and berries burst. Remove pot from heat and add the orange flavored liqueur and the raspberries. Gently mix to combine, careful not to mush the raspberries.
• Scoop ice cream into individual bowls. Top ice cream with warm berry compote.

BERRY SORBET

Steps:

• Puree berries and 1/3 cup water in a blender. Pour through a coarse sieve into a bowl. If using blueberries, strain again, through a fine sieve. (You should have 2 cups.) Stir in simple syrup.
• Refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour. Process in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions, about 25 minutes. Transfer sorbet to an airtight container, and freeze until it hardens, at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.

BERRY-MI-SU: BERRY-ME-UP

Steps:

• Open the ladyfingers and separate them.
• Strain the frozen berries over a bowl, reserve juice. Combine defrosted raspberries with sliced strawberries and blackberries.
• Line 4 martini glasses with a single layer of ladyfingers, letting the cakes overlap a bit at the stem. Press the cakes down a bit to fit the lines of the glass. Paint the ladyfingers with raspberry juice, liberally. Beat cheese with cream and sugar on low, 2 minutes. Spoon berries, then sweetened mascarpone into glasses. Top glasses off with a cap of the ladyfingers dotted with berry juice and more mixed berries.
