Servings: 4 serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- Fresh blackberries amount as required for individual servings
- 8 ounces of quality cream cheese room temperature
- 2 tablespoons of fine coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon of fresh, culinary-grade lavender buds finely chopped
- Raw honey or pure maple syrup amount for a light drizzle
- Heavy cream from grass-fed cows amount as required for accompanying whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon of maple powder sugar for sweetening the whipped cream
- Pure vanilla extract a dash, for flavoring the whipped cream
- Additional fresh lavender buds for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Begin by selecting the freshest blackberries available, ensuring they are plump and deep purple to black in color, indicative of ripeness and sweetness.
- Gently rinse the blackberries in cool water, then carefully pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture, which could dilute the flavors.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of quality cream cheese at room temperature with 2 tablespoons of fine coconut sugar, using a fork or a hand mixer until the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Finely chop fresh, culinary-grade lavender buds, ensuring they are free from pesticides or chemical treatments since they will be used in a raw preparation. Use only 1 teaspoon of chopped lavender to avoid overpowering the dish, keeping the flavors balanced and delicate.
- Spread a thin layer of the lavender-infused cream cheese onto individual serving plates, creating a base for the blackberries. This will provide both a flavorful bed and a visual contrast to the berries.
- Arrange the blackberries atop the cream cheese in a single layer, taking care to space them out evenly for an aesthetically pleasing presentation that allows each component to be experienced in every bite.
- Drizzle a small amount of raw honey or pure maple syrup over the blackberries to lightly glaze them, adding a subtle sweetness that complements their natural flavor without masking it.
- In a chilled bowl, using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat cold heavy cream from grass-fed cows until it reaches soft peaks. Sweeten with a teaspoon of maple powder sugar and a dash of pure vanilla extract; whip until just combined. Note that heavy cream is optional and can be omitted or substituted with plant-based alternatives for a sattvic preparation.
- Dollop a spoonful of the whipped cream onto the blackberries or serve it on the side in a small dish, allowing individuals to add to their liking.
