ST. LOUIS —
Blackberry Parfaits
Ingredients:
18 oz of blackberries plus more for garnish
1 cup of granulated sugar
2 oz of creme de cassis - optional
1½ cups of mascarpone cheese
⅓ (heaping) cup of sour cream
3 - 4 Tbs of honey
8 - 9 lady fingers or cookie of your choice.
Instructions:
In a medium sized saucepan over medium/high heat, add the the berries, sugar and creme de cassis. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium/low and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the mixture just starts to thicken, remove from the heat and let cool.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, stir together the mascarpone, sour cream and honey until smooth, if the mixture seems too thick, add a little more sour cream.
To assemble, break the cookies in small pieces and place in the bottom of 6 parfait glasses, then spoon in the berry sauce, then the mascarpone mixture, chill overnight or at least for 2 hours.
To serve, top with whipped cream and garnish with whole berries and a cookie if you like, YUM!
Notes:
I think these parfaits are even better if they are chilled overnight! Just add the whipped cream right before serving.
