Ingredients
- ½ cup chilled heavy cream
- 12 oz fresh raspberries, clean and dry see note
- 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar divided
Instructions
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip heavy cream and 1 teaspoon sugar until soft peaks form.
- Combine berries and whipped cream in a heat safe dish (I used a pie plate).
- Working with the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar, sprinkle a layer of sugar over the berries and then caramelize with a kitchen torch, using a back and forth motion. Work with one section of the dish at a time: sprinkle sugar, caramelize that sugar, then repeat both steps in another area, until the whole thing is done. Place the dish in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to allow the sugar to harden. Serve immediately on its own or alongside pound cake or angel food cake.
Notes
Berries: You need to use fresh, not frozen, berries for this recipe. Strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries are our favorites. You can even use a combination of berries. Larger berries can be halved, smaller berries can be left whole. You will need about 3 cups.
