Red, White, and Yum – Berries and Cream with Cinnamon

This delicious dessert tastes like a decadent treat, but is so simple and fresh you’ll want it every day of the week.

You’ll need:

  • strawberries
  • blueberries
  • other berries or cherries, if you’d like
  • heavy whipping cream
  • a sweetener, if desired (sugar or stevia)
  • cinnamon

If you have an electric mixer, this will be quick! If not, it will take a while to whip the cream, but it’ll be worth it.

  1. Pour the heavy cream into your mixer’s bowl. If you plan ahead, you can pre-chill the bowl. If not, it’ll be okay.
  2. Using the whisk attachment, whip the cream on medium-high speed.
  3. Meanwhile, wash and prepare your berries, slicing strawberries, or pitting the cherries if you’re using them.
  4. When the cream begins to thicken, add a small amount of sweetener if you wish to. I didn’t add any because the berries are sweet enough on their own. Continue whipping.
  5. Divide the berries among several bowls or ramekins.
  6. When the cream is ready (fluffy), turn the mixer off and spoon whipped cream over the berries.
  7. Sprinkle with cinnamon (or sifted cocoa powder).
  8. Enjoy!

    Ah…That’s why God created Redi-Whip. Real whipped cream in a can. THAT’s the ticket.

    Yeah, you have to keep an eye on it. haha. High speed is fine as long as you stop it when it looks puffy, and don’t let it keep going forever.

    I always whip my cream on low speed. Once I tried it on a higher speed and ended up accidentally making butter and whey. Looks delicious though!
