Tips for raspberries and cream
What to do with raspberries? Since we’re always in the market for a quick and easy dessert, we decided to go with whipped cream – the hand-whipped style. It makes a super simple dessert you can serve in a variety of ways. It’s gone on to become one of our favorite ways to eat berries in the summer. The rich, creamy homemade whipped cream against the sweet tart berries and crunchy pistachios is heavenly.
Homemade whipped cream is key. You can whip it by hand, or use a stand mixer if you have one. It makes a beautiful, thick cream that holds its shape, even until the next day. For a few whipped cream variations, try our Yogurt Whipped Cream or Alcohol Infused Whipped Cream: infusing with rum, bourbon, or amaretto would be fun. For vegan, try Coconut Whipped Cream. Add nuts for a crunch. We used chopped pistachios. You can also try chopped pecans, walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts. Swap in any other fruit. Ripe, seasonal fruit is the key! Try adding strawberries, blueberries, blackberries or sliced peaches to the raspberries (peaches bring in a peach melba vibe)
The combination of the cream and berries was delicious—the perfect way to enjoy the flavor of local berries! Let us know if you try it in the comments below.
